Altea, 1981. — 64 p. Vivir en la Antigua Roma no era fácil. Pese a la imagen que ofrecen las películas con la capital engalanada, los templos de mármol resplandeciente, las carreras de cuadrigas, los combates de gladiadores. La realidad era muy diferente. La mayor parte del pueblo no tenía trabajo ni nada que llevarse a la boca.A la vista de todo ello, muchas familias vieron en...
Institut für Sprachwissenschaft der Universität Innsbruck, 1974. — 280 p. Nach den Niederlagen gegen die Kimbern, Teutonen und Ambronen wurde eine Heeresreform immer dringender.

University of Toronto Press, 1990. — xviii + 235 p. — ISBN 0-8020-5787-X. Records of criminal and civil trials offer scholars a wealth of information about legal practices and principles, social history, and the conventions of rhetoric. For Roman historians court records as we know them today do not exist. To fill that gap Michael C. Alexander has tabulated, as exhaustively as...
University of Michigan Press, 2003. — 383 p. Much of the modern world's knowledge of criminal court trials in the Late Roman Republic derives from the orations of Cicero. His eleven court trial speeches have provided information about the trials and the practices of the time period. Records of the prosecution's case are lost; these speeches, our only transcripts of the time, were...

Sydney University Press, 1970. — 32 p. — (Todd memorial lecture). It is a very interesting brief biography of the famous Roman politic and general Lucius Cornelius Sulla (138 - 78 B.C.). It should now be a truism that the historian must not claim to give the explanation of a complex historical phenomenon. Such questions as: "What were the causes of the Great War, of the Fall of...
Routledge, 2018. — 368 p. For many centuries, Julius Caesar was a name that evoked strong feelings among educated people. Some of these responses were complimentary, but others came from the point of view of "political republicanism" which envisaged Caesar as a historical symbol for some of the most dangerous tendencies a polity could experience. Caesar represented everything...
Franz Steiner Verlag, 1997. — 214 p. — (HERMES Einzelschriften 73).

Berrett-Koehler, 2016. — 145 p. Leaders are always trying to get better, which is why there is an enormous and growing collection of literature offering the latest leadership paradigm or process. But sometimes the best way to move forward is to look back. Philip Barlag shows us that Julius Caesar is one of the most compelling leaders of the past to study—a man whose approach was...
Harvard University Press, 1997. — 236 p. Is Lucan's brilliant and grotesque epic Civil War an example of ideological poetry at its most flagrant, or is it a work that despairingly proclaims the meaninglessness of ideology? Shadi Bartsch offers a startlingly new answer to this split debate on the Roman poet's magnum opus. Reflecting on the disintegration of the Roman republic in...
Oxford University Press, 2006. — 240 p. Caesar's Civil War, the story of the general's contest with the Pompeian party through nineteen months of civil war, is an unfinished masterpiece. The author abandoned it when he found himself living in a different world than that which saw its commencement. The narrative ends after Pompey's death, amidst the preliminaries to the Alexandrian...
Creative Media Partners, 2019. — 95 p. Interesting work on the brief military history of Republican Rome. It would be scarcely possible for anyone writing on the period embraced in this volume, to perform his task adequately without making himself familiar with Mr. Long's 'History of the Decline of the Roman Republic' and Mommsen's 'History of Rome.' To do over again (as though...

Cicero's Brutus (46 BCE), a tour-de-force of intellectual and political history, was written amidst political crisis: Caesar's defeat of the republican resistance at the battle of Thapsus.

Gieben, 1987. — 117 p. Rome's military was always tightly keyed to its political system. In the Roman kingdom the social standing of a person impacted both his political and military roles, which were often organised into familial clans such as the Julia. These clans often wielded a large amount of power and were huge influences through the Roman Kingdom into the Republic. The...
Franz Steiner Verlag, 2023. — 370 p. — (Heidelberger Althistorische Beitrage гnd Epigraphische Studien 65).

E-Reads, 2013. — 308 p. A military genius worshiped for his courage; a fierce politician admired for his shrewdness and mercy; a brilliant writer and speaker. It's no wonder that in his lifetime Julius Caesar held the positions of military tribune, praetor, consul, pro-consul and dictator. But even his astounding ambition could not make him emperor, though it did achieve the...
Indiana University Press, 1989. — 202 p. In the 70 years between 140 B.C. and 70 B.C., Rome was confronted with three major slave rebellions. Two of the uprisings occurred in the province of Sicily.

Each aspect of this complex role is examined over a period of six centuries: the making of a king; exposure to Roman institutions and individuals; formal...
Oxford University Press, 2010. — 348 p. Civil Wars, more than other wars, sear themselves into the memory of societies that suffer them. This is particularly true at Rome, where in a period of 150 years the Romans fought four epochal wars against themselves. The present volume brings together exciting new perspectives on the subject by an international group of distinguished...
Il Mulino, 2017. — 227 p. Il nome di Spartaco è legato alla terza e più nota delle guerre cosiddette servili, ribellioni di schiavi e non solo, che afflissero lo Stato romano fra secondo e primo secolo a.C. Il libro mostra come quella guerra sia in realtà l'episodio ultimo di una serie di eventi a sfondo sociale e civile che coinvolsero una «seconda» Italia a lungo emarginata....
Il Mulino, 2018. — 168 p. Il libro è incentrato sulla figura di Romane Generale Silla (138 - 78 B.C.), dando però anche una bella spiegazione del contesto storico e delle vicende precedenti. Rimane solo un po troppo veloce nella conclusione, e in varie parti sottintende molte conoscenze di fatti o personaggi da parte del lettore.

Edinburgh University Press, 2007. — 459 p. In this splendid profile, Luciano Canfora offers a radically new interpretation of one of the most controversial figures in history.

Duke Classics, 2014. — 192 р. Cicero, a Roman philosopher, orator, and politician, exerted an enormous influence on the development of Western culture, not only in his own time, but also in subsequent eras.

Princeton University Press, 1996. — 263 p. Although numerous scholars have studied Late Republican humor, this is the first book to examine its social and political context.
