Bøker av W. K. Lacey

Updating and enlarging on a lifetime's work on Augustus and his `constitutions' Lacey discusses the process of gradual encroachment whereby Augustus unobtrusively and with minimal opposition accumulated more and more power, whilst outwardly retaining the facade of a republic.

Gathers together extracts from Cicero's works in which he discusses the Roman state (res publica). Grouped into eight thematic chapters, this title enables the student to examine the evidence and draw his or her own conclusions from the material presented.
