Modern History: From the Coming of Christ, and the Change of the Roman Republic Into an Empire, to the Year of Our Lord 1850 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Excerpt from Modern History<br/><br/>Sylla, having obtained, after his great victories, the Dictatorship for life, proved to the world that Rome could endure a master; like him, Pompey and Julius Caesar successively rendered themselves all-powerful. The violent death of the latter, who was slain in the Senate, augmented, instead of lessening the evil. There were now three competitors for the supreme power: Antony, Lepidus, and the young Octavius, grand-nephew and adopted son of Owsar. During their triumvirate, all in Rome who were most remarkable for their courage and their opposition to tyranny, were destroyed: Cicero was put to death; Brutus and Cassius were defeated at Philippi and with them expired the liberty of the Roman people.
