罗马帝国的诞生
(uk) Richard Alston
In 44 BC, Julius Caesar was assassinated during a Senate meeting. The senators who assassinated him believed that this would restore Rome to its republican traditions. In 27 BC, Caesar's adopted son Octavian was awarded the title "Augustus" at a Senate meeting, and the Roman Empire was born. Octavian used rewards to win over soldiers, used food to buy people's hearts, and used violence to purge opponents. The old elite was completely defeated, the old order was swept away, and Rome was no longer what it once was. Why did the assassination attempt to save the Republic directly give birth to the Empire? Why were seemingly advanced republics replaced by backward monarchies? The author of this book is a professor of ancient Roman history at Royal Holloway, University of London. He not only restores various important events in the birth of the Roman Empire, but also explores the various internal factors after this shocking change. Using a new perspective, the characters at the bottom are integrated into the turbulent era.
