About this deal
Beginning as a small city-state in central Italy, Rome gradually expanded into a wider world filled with petty tyrants, barbarian chieftains, and despotic kings. . Size: 14. The republican system was unable to cope with the vast empire Rome now ruled: rising economic inequality disrupted traditional ways of life, endemic social and ethnic prejudice led to clashes over citizenship and voting rights, and rampant corruption and ruthless ambition sparked violent political clashes that cracked the once indestructible foundations of the Republic. The Roman Republic was one of the most remarkable achievements in the history of civilization.

Loved to go over the Gracci and Sina stories again but appreciated all the detail about other more-obscure actors even more. Looking very much forward to his next work, hopefully again about ancient history. Frankly what I was always looking for was a bit more depth to interesting elements of the expansive narrative.

And he passed my tube-nap-test! Very relevant to our times.

Like most others I got introduced to Mike Duncan through his witty Rome podcast quite a few years ago. : I did not fall asleep once when reading his book on the way back home.
