 In a captivating exploration of the decline and fall of the Roman Republic, historian Charles Oman presents a series of insightful studies on the pivotal figures of this tumultuous era. This engaging narrative delves into the tragic endeavors of the Gracchi brothers, who fought to revive farm ownership for everyday Romans, and Marius’s transformative military reforms. We witness the ruthless proscriptions of Sulla and the rise of Crassus, a real estate magnate who purchased his political influence only to meet a grim fate in Syria. Oman also highlights Cato’s desperate clinging to republican ideals and Pompey’s relentless quest for fame as a military genius. The journey culminates with Julius Caesar, whose actions profoundly shaped the course of history, ensuring that his legacy endured even through the darkest ages. - Summary by Pamela Nagami
