Late Republican Rome, 88–31 BC 2nd Edition

Late Republican Rome, 88–31 BC — 2nd Edition by FEDERICO SANTANGELO offers a vivid, authoritative portrait of Rome’s most turbulent half-century. From the upheavals of 88 BC to the decisive Battle of Actium in 31 BC, this updated edition guides readers through the political rivalries, military campaigns, and social transformations that ended the Roman Republic and reshaped the Mediterranean world.

Step into the drama of Sulla’s reforms, the rise of Pompey and Caesar, the paralysis of the late Republican Senate, and the final clash between Octavian and Mark Antony. Santangelo combines close readings of classical sources with contemporary scholarship to explain not only what happened, but why these events mattered for Rome, Italy, and the broader Mediterranean basin. His clear narrative balances scholarly rigor with accessible prose, making complex debates—political violence, clientelist networks, and constitutional collapse—intelligible to students, historians, and general readers alike.

This second edition incorporates recent historiographical advances and provides a coherent chronological framework that helps readers trace continuity and change across decades of civil war. Whether you’re studying ancient Roman politics, researching classical history in Europe, or simply fascinated by Rome’s dramatic endgame, this book equips you with the context and analysis needed to understand a turning point in Western history.
