Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the dynamics of political participation in republican Rome, this book explores the extent of the people's influence within the Roman state, questioning whether they were genuinely involved or sidelined by the elite. It examines the functioning of political meetings and assemblies, as well as the role of crowds in these events. By situating the discussion of Roman "democracy" within a social framework, it offers fresh insights into the complexities of popular engagement in ancient governance.
