This book is a comprehensive analysis of key incidents in the history of the Republic that can be characterized as crises, and the institutional response mechanisms that were employed by the governing apparatus to resolve them. Concentrating on military and other violent threats to the stability of the governing system, this book highlights both the strengths and weaknesses of the institutional framework that the Romans created. Looking at key historical moments, Gregory K. Golden considers how the Romans defined a crisis and what measures were taken to combat them, including declaring a state of emergency, suspending all non-war-related business, and instituting an emergency military draft, as well as resorting to rule by dictator in the early Republic. 606 $aCrisis management in government$zRome 606 $aPunic War, 2nd, 218-201 B.C 607 $aRome$xPolitics and government$y265-30 B.C 607 $aRome$xHistory$yMithridatic Wars, 88-63 B.C 607 $aRome$xHistory$yConspiracy of Catiline, 65-62 B.C 615 0$aCrisis management in government 615 0$aPunic War, 2nd, 218-201 B.C. 676 $a937/.02 700 $aGolden$b Gregory K.$01635062 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817366303321 996 $aCrisis management during the Roman Republic$93975630 997 $aUNINA
