Softcover. Zustand: Very Good-. Minor foxing to front wrap. Small tear to head of spine. Corners slightly edgeworn.; The years 91â"82 B. C. Witnessed the reforms, factional competition, and civil strife that sowed the seeds of the Republicâs eventual destruction. This book investigates that crucial decade in the social and political development of Rome by re-examining the career of L. Cornelius Cinna, one of the most enigmatic, tragic, yet fascinating, figures in all of Roman history; his regime âdominatedâ Rome from 87 to 82 B. C. This study attempts to explain how, why, and how successfully Cinna and his faction, as champions of Romeâs discontented and obstacle of Romeâs conservatives, dealt with those pressing problems that then plagued Rome. Cinna emerges as a competent military strategist and an astute politician who, through conviction and ambition, rose to head an unusual coalition. His âdominatioâ was no military despotism; his faction did not exercise absolute or tyrannical authority over the State. Rather, Cinnaâs regime ensured political and economic stability and preserved and promoted the Roman State at a time when it surely might have collapsed.; Historia - Einzelschriften 158; 6.5 X 0.5 X 9.25 inches; 188 pages.
