Secondly, that Cicero created his model of the ideal statesman as part of an attempt to reconcile the mixed constitution of Rome's past with his belief in the inevitable return of sole-person rule. Thirdly, that the ideal statesman was the primary construct against which Cicero viewed the political and military activities of Pompey, Caesar and Antony, and himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jonathan Zarecki\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1780932952\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781780932958\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/05\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.56d","brand":"Jonathan Zarecki","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425383366911,"sku":"9781780932958","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c7e703ef-a983-48ba-9c61-ad6147f7d6c2.jpg?v=1761538843","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ciceros-ideal-statesman-in-theory-jonathan-zarecki-9781780932958","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
