Sulla and the 80s BCE -- The up and coming generation: Rome in the 70s BCE -- Hopes for the future: Rome in the 60s BCE -- Rome in crisis? The Catilinarian conspiracy of 63 BCE -- A first triumvirate? Rome in the early 50s BCE -- Violence in republican Rome: the truth of the late 50s BCE -- Civil War and Caesar's dictatorship.This is the story of the last century of the Roman Republic - why and how did the Republic succeed and why did it ultimately fail? Was the destruction of the Republic attributable to one man - Julius Caesar - or was he perhaps the most visionary of his colleagues in realising that the Rome of the past had changed? Are the actions of men like Brutus and Cassius in assassinating Caesar worthy of admiration, or were they the final gasp of a fallen world?. Pamela Marin begins by examining the ideals underpinning the Roman Republic, and relates the legendary story of Cincinnatus.
