Description

Most historians, both ancient and modern, have viewed the Late Republic of Rome through the eyes of its rich nobility, generally regarding Roman commoners as a parasitic mob interested only in bread and circuses. This text challenges these assertions, presenting a story of popular resistance against entrenched power and wealth, both in terms of Caesar's assassination and in wider Roman society.
