Sinopsis
Excerpt from Lectures and Essays
The J acobins used to think of Caesar as a great aristo erat, patriotically assassinated by the noble sans-calorific, Brutus. I confess it seems to me not much less untrue to describe him as a champion of nationalities, and a destroyer of aristocratic privilege and exclusiveness. It was the war-power, not the people, that triumphed in him. The people, indeed - that is, the people of Italy, were, in the first instance, the authors of his elevation, but it was not enfranchisement that they wanted, it was simply military protection. The enemies they feared were not a Catulus or a Cato, but Helvetian or German hordes. It was not aristocratic privilege they rebelled against, but aristocratic feebleness, the feebleness which had led to the shameful treaty with Jugurtha and the bloody defeat of Arausio.

Excerpt from Lectures and Essays
In the famous controversy between Julius Cæsar and Brutus the present age takes a different side from the last Brutus used to be considered in the right, but public opinion now declares for Cæsar. Cæsar's partisans, however, may state their case in two ways. They may represent him as having simply achieved a great administrative reform, and made government more efficient at the expense of republican liberties. This they may consider to have been on the whole a necessary and useful work, and they may respect Cæsar as a practical statesman, who had the wise hardihood to abolish venerated institutions when they had become, in the lapse of time, mischievous.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into an examination of Roman Imperialism and its impact on the fall of the Roman Empire. The author argues that the fall of the Roman Empire was not a result of external pressures or internal political struggles, but rather a consequence of a fundamental shift in the structure of Roman governance. The book explores the gradual transformation of the Roman Republic into an imperial system, arguing that this shift led to a concentration of power in the hands of a single ruler and a standing army, ultimately leading to the loss of individual liberty and the decline of civic virtue. Through a detailed analysis of primary sources and historical events, the author presents a fresh perspective on the fall of the Roman Empire, highlighting the insidious role of centralized power and the erosion of republican values in its demise. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330396261_0
