In the century following 150 BCE, the Romans developed a coherent
vision of empire and a more systematic provincial administration.
The city of Rome itself became a cultural and intellectual center
that eclipsed other Mediterranean cities, while ideas and practices
of citizenship underwent radical change. In this book, Josiah
Osgood offers a new survey of this most vivid period of Roman
history, the Late Republic. While many discussions focus on
politics in the city of Rome itself, his account examines
developments throughout the Mediterranean and ties political events
more firmly to the growth of overseas empire. The volume includes a
broad overview of economic and cultural developments. By extending
the story well beyond the conventional stopping date of Julius
Caesar's assassination in 44 BCE, Osgood ultimately moves away from
the old paradigm of the fall of the Republic. The Romans of the
Late Republic emerge less as the disreputable gangsters of popular
imagination and more as inspired innovators.
