A Slow and Secret Poison: The Fall of the Roman Republic 146-31 BC (Legends and Legacies: A History of Europe from the Fall of the Roman Republic to the Fourth Crusade in Seven Volumes, Band 1) - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
The Roman Republic did not die in a single stroke. It was poisoned.
For nearly a century, a succession of ambitious men of Rome each administered a fresh dose to an institution already corrupted by faction, graft, and the slow surrender of civic virtue to personal glory. By the time Octavian’s fleet shattered Antony’s at Actium in 31 BC, the cure had killed the patient. Rome had a single, omnipotent master.
A Slow and Secret Poison traces the long, violent unmaking of the Roman Republic—from the rhetorical thunder of the Gracchi brothers to the burning ships at Actium and the last of the pharaohs dying in her Alexandrian tomb. Drawing exclusively on the ancient sources—Plutarch, Appian, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, Sallust, and Caesar himself—Christopher S. M. Lyon restores the late Republic to its own voices, its own quarrels, and its own blood.
Here are Marius and Sulla, Pompey and Crassus, Caesar and Antony—not as marble busts but as ambitious, ruthless men dosing an ailing state with a venom that took a hundred years to kill. The poison was not in any single act, but in the slow erosion of restraint, the steady normalization of violence, and the seductive bargain by which a desperate populace traded a republic for a master.
A vivid, sweeping account of the most consequential and evocative collapse in Western history—and the first volume of Legends and Legacies, a seven-volume history of Europe from the fall of the Republic to the fall of Constantinople.
