Résumé

The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic explores the dramatic and tumultuous journey of Rome from its early days as a small city-state to its expansion into a vast and powerful republic, before its eventual collapse into imperial rule. The book examines the key political, military, and social factors that contributed to the rise of Roman power, focusing on the achievements and failures of significant figures such as Julius Caesar, Pompey, and Cicero.
Davies delves into the political struggles and factional rivalries that shaped the Republic's institutions, offering a detailed analysis of the system of checks and balances that, over time, began to fracture under the weight of military conquests, social unrest, and corruption. As Rome faced internal dissent, foreign invasions, and the increasing dominance of powerful generals, the Republic's ability to maintain stability weakened.
Through a deep exploration of critical moments like the Punic Wars, the rise of populist politics, and the decline of republican ideals, Davies offers a nuanced understanding of how a political system that once championed freedom and governance by the people ultimately gave way to autocracy. The book concludes with the assassination of Julius Caesar, the end of the Republic, and the rise of Augustus, marking the beginning of the Roman Empire.
The Rise and Fall of the Roman Republic is both a historical account and a reflection on the complexities of political systems, leadership, and the forces that can push a republic toward its collapse.
