The Gracchi Marius And Sulla (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781419164446)

The Gracchi Marius And Sulla is a historical book written by A.H. Beesley. The book explores the political and social upheavals that occurred in ancient Rome during the time of the Gracchi brothers, Gaius and Tiberius, and the subsequent rise of military leaders Marius and Sulla. The author delves into the causes and effects of these events, including the struggles between the aristocracy and the common people, the role of the military in politics, and the corruption and violence that plagued the Roman Republic. Beesley provides a detailed analysis of the key figures involved in these events and their impact on the development of Roman society and politics. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient history, politics, and the evolution of democratic systems.General expectation would have pointed to Scipio Aemilianus, the conqueror of Numantia and Carthage, and the foremost man at Rome. He was well-meaning and more than ordinarily able, strict and austere as a general, and as a citizen uniting Greek culture with the old Roman simplicity of life. He was full of scorn of the rabble, and did not scruple to express it. 'Silence, ' he cried, when he was hissed for what he said about his brother-in-law's death, 'you step-children of Italy!' and when this enraged them still more, he went on: 'Do you think I shall fear you whom I brought to Italy in fetters now that you are loose?'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
