Republicanism during the Early Roman Empire

In this impressive and provocative book Sam Wilkinson makes the argument that Republican ideas and ideals persisted in Rome on a large scale well beyond the establishment of the empire. This is a complex topic, one that Wilkinson tackles with admirable clarity, combined with sound judgement and an impressive knowledge of the period. Professional scholars will find it challenging and stimulating, students and serious amateurs will find it immensely readable and informative. Anthony A.
