Rubicon: The Triumph And Tragedy of The Roman Republic
[Buy it!] | Tom Holland | USD 9.15
(Sat Jun 1 22:40:29 2024) | Choosebooks/ZVAB | Hamelyn | ISBN10: 034911563X, ISBN13: 9780349115634, [publisher: Abacus] Softcover The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes and hills ended up ruling the known world. Rubicon paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness - the same greatness which would herald the catastrophe of its fall. It is a story of incomparable drama. This was the century of Julius Caesar, the gambler whose addiction to glory led him to the banks of the Rubicon, and beyond; of Cicero, whose defence of freedom would make him a byword for eloquence; of Spartacus, the slave who dared to challenge a superpower; of Cleopatra, the queen who did the same. Tom Holland brings to life this strange and unsettling civilization, with its extremes of ambition and self-sacrifice, bloodshed and desire. Yet alien as it was, the Republic still holds up a mirror to us. Its citizens were obsessed by celebrity chefs, all-night dancing and exotic pets; they fought elections in law courts and were addicted to spin; they toppled foreign tyrants in the name of self-defence. Two thousand years may have passed, but we remain the Romans' heirs.EAN: 9780349115634 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Título: Rubicon: The Triumph And Tragedy of The Roman RepublicAutor: Tom Holland Editorial: Abacus
