Discover the pivotal year of 59 BC in “The Year of Julius and Caesar: 59 BC and the Transformation of the Roman Republic.” This compelling study by Stefan G. Chrissanthos examines how the Roman Republic began its irreversible decline into violence and civil war. Focusing on the audacious attack orchestrated by Julius Caesar and the First Triumvirate against his co-consul Bibulus, this book reveals how a single event shattered Roman political norms. Before April 4, 59 BC, it was a typical year offering insights into Roman governance. Afterward, it marked the end of the free state, enabling Caesar’s ascent to power. Explore this watershed moment in ancient history, drawing parallels to contemporary politics, in this accessible yet scholarly work from “The bookish owl”.
