In this book, Jessica H. Clark answers this question by showing what responses to defeat can tell us about the Roman definition of victory. The text traces Roman responses to the Second Punic War, showing the extent to which Rome's reputation as an inevitable military victor was constructed by political discourse.War and civilizationRomeDefeat (Psychology)RomeHistoryRepublic, 265-30 B.CRomeHistory, Military265-30 B.CWar and civilizationDefeat (Psychology)937/.02Clark Jessica Homan1980-1014481MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK996215839803316Triumph in defeat2364164UNISA
