Scholarly look at the “constitution,” using Polybius as a starting point. Looks at the origin of the constitution, then examines the Roman government’s individual components (assemblies, Senate, magistrates, criminal justice, religion) and how they are balanced against each other. Ends with a look at the influence of the Roman Republic on later history. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Références à cette œuvre sur des ressources externes. Wikipédia en anglais (29)There is no other published book in English studying the constitution of the Roman Republic as a whole. Yet the Greek historian Polybius believed that the constitution was a fundamental cause of the exponential growth of Rome's empire. He regarded the Republic as unusual in two respects:first, because it functioned so well despite being a mix of monarchy, oligarchy and democracy; secondly, because the constitution was the product of natural evolution rather than the ideals of a lawgiver. Even if historians now seek more widely for the causes of Rome's rise to power, the importanceand influence of her political institutions remains. The reasons for Rome's power are both complex, on account of the mix of elements, and flexible, inasmuch as they were not founded on written statutes but on unwritten traditions reinterpreted by successive generations. Knowledge of Rome'spolitical institutions is essential both for ancient historians and for those who study the contribution of Rome to the republican tradition of political thought from the Middle Ages to the revolutions inspired by the Enlightenment.
