Description
The Civil Wars by Appian A comprehensive account of Rome's most tumultuous period, spanning over 60 years of conflict and power struggles. This five-book work chronicles the rise and fall of influential figures such as Catiline, Caesar, Pompey, and Augustus, offering a detailed insight into the events that shaped the Roman state. Appian's writings provide a vivid narrative of the Second Triumvirate, the purges of Proscriptions, and the ultimate defeat of Antony and Cleopatra. The work is notable for its sombre portrayal of the decline of the Roman state, with a focus on the struggle against external enemies that ultimately led to the birth of an empire. Published by Penguin Classics, this edition features authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes from distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations.
