Description

Sulla, the Last Republican by Arthur Keaveney is a comprehensive biography that reevaluates the life and legacy of one of ancient Rome's most pivotal figures. A leading authority on the classical world, Keaveney presents a nuanced portrait of Sulla, challenging traditional views of his character and instead highlighting his complex motivations and achievements. This second edition has been thoroughly updated to incorporate recent discoveries, providing a fresh perspective on Sulla's life and reign. The book explores Sulla's rise from poverty and obscurity to his dictatorship of Rome, revealing a man driven by a deep-seated conviction that he was blessed with divine favour. By examining the evidence and shedding new light on this enigmatic figure, Keaveney offers a compelling and engaging account of Sulla's life and legacy.
