The essays in Fighting for Rome confront the traumatic disjunction
between the militarist culture of classical Rome, with its heavy
investment in valour, conquest and triumph, and the domination of
its history by civil war, where Roman soldiers killed so many
Romans for control of Rome. The essays gathered and rewritten here
range across the literary forms (history, satire, lyric and epic)
and work closely with the ancient texts (Appian and Julius Caesar;
Horace; Lucan and Statius; Tacitus and Livy). Close reading and
powerful translation communicate the ancient writers' efforts to
grasp and respond to the Roman civil wars, and to their product,
Roman terror under the Caesars. The book aims to bring to life
strong reactions to a world order run by civil war.
