Readers gain not only a fuller understanding of the late Roman and early American Republics and their leaders but also an appreciation for comparative biography in its ability to make connections across the human experience. The book provides a way to connect two different areas of study, focusing on how republicanism shaped both Romans and American Founders and providing a previously unexplored contribution to a growing trend of broadening historical exposure. In doing so, Baughman and Poston demonstrate the continued need for connecting different fields of history while also helping students understand their connection to the ancient past.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book is suitable for students and scholars interested in the late Roman and the early American Republics and also appeals to readers of varied interests across historical times and places, particularly those studying the connections between the classical past and modern world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Karl Baughman, Brook Poston\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032030747\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032030746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Karl Baughman","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44075478483199,"sku":"9781032030746","price":48.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_66694d95-e887-40e5-ac3f-1d326e9e7fea.jpg?v=1685459661","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/parallel-lives-karl-baughman-9781032030746","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
