What can the Romans teach us about politics? This thematic
introduction to Roman political thought shows how the Roman world
developed political ideas of lasting significance, from the
consequential constitutional notions of the separation of powers,
political legitimacy, and individual rights to key concepts in
international relations, such as imperialism, just war theory, and
cosmopolitanism. Jed W. Atkins relates these and many other
important ideas to Roman republicanism, traces their evolution
across all major periods of Roman history, and describes
Christianity's important contributions to their development. Using
the politics and political thought of the United States as a case
study, he argues that the relevance of Roman political thought for
modern liberal democracies lies in the profound mixture of ideas
both familiar and foreign to us that shape and enliven Roman
republicanism. Accessible to students and non-specialists, this
book provides an invaluable guide to Roman political thought and
its enduring legacies.
