Description
Rome after Sulla offers a fresh perspective on the tumultuous politics of late Roman republic. Following Sulla's dictatorship (80-77 BC), this book reconstructs the years that followed, providing new insights into key sources such as Cicero's pro Roscio, Appian, and Sallust's Historiae. The author argues that Sulla's settlement was never stable, leaving contemporaries feeling uncertain and fearful. This instability had a profound impact on Roman political culture, ultimately contributing to the events of Caesar's rise to power. By examining the legacy of Sulla and the first civil war, this book sheds new light on Rome's transition from republic to autocratic rule. The author's in-depth exploration of Sallust's Historiae provides a unique perspective on the late republic, revealing a society grappling with fundamental questions about stability and its costs.
