Explora la Fascinante Historia de la República RomanaCuando pensamos en la antigua Roma, la primera idea que se nos viene a la mente es la del imperio, seguida de la imagen de un poderoso emperador, sus legiones, edificios colosales, y los gladiadores (o la retórica y poesía, dependiendo de los gustos).

De hecho, muchos historiadores ven la historia de Roma bajo el gobierno de los emperadores como un largo y gradual declive. Fue durante la República que Roma se convirtió en un imperio. Muchos de los logros que el primer emperador romano, Octavio Augusto, aseguraba haber alcanzado fueron, de hecho, forjados durante la República romana.En este libro, veremos más de cerca el comienzo de la civilización romana, la fundación de la ciudad y el Senado, la expansión de la República romana, su gloria, y su final.Algunos temas que se tratan en este libro son:l Pasado que lo Hizo Posible: La Fundación de Roma entre Mito e HistoriaAbajo los Reyes: El Pasado que lo CausóLos Comienzos de la RepúblicaLogros Militares de los Comienzos de la República: Tomar ItaliaEn Medio de la República: Las Guerras Púnicas y el Dominio del MediterráneoEl Dominio Militar versus el Dominio Cultural: La Civilización Romana ante el Mundo GriegoPoder Ilimitado y el Comienzo del Fin: El período final de la RepúblicaLa era de los Generales: Pompeyo, Craso y CésarSenatos Populus-Que Romanus (SPQR) y su CaídaEl Ascenso y la Caída de Julio César y el Fin de la República Romana¡Y Mucho Más Que No te Puedes Perder!¡Obtiene el libro ya para aprender más acerca de la República Romana!
