Res Publica and the Roman Republic - ''Without Body Or Form''

Zusatztext Hodgson has produced not only a masterly study of a sinuous political concept but also a fascinating study of the demise of the Roman republic. Whilst Latin and Greek passages are all translated, some of the chapters are perhaps rather heavy weather for the general reader, though this would be a useful addition to the bookshelf of anyone teaching A level or above. Informationen zum Autor Louise Hodgson received her doctorate in Roman History from Durham University. Klappentext Res Publica and the Roman Republic explores the political crisis at the end of the Roman Republic through the changing perceptions of the political sphere itself, the res publica. The volume seeks to show how the rhetoric surrounding the latter mirrors the changes in the Roman political landscape throughout this period.

Report

Hodgson's treatments of first-century B.C.E. and first-century C.E. claims on res publica offer a compelling entry-point to contemporary elite conversations, and her commitment to listening around Cicero rather than merely to Cicero is impressive. Emma Dench, Journal of Roman Studies
