- Summary:
- Wilkinson (classics, U. of London) explores the political ideology of Republicanism in Rome during the first century AD, an ideology most historians today deny existed, but which he contends exerted real influence on the Roman Empire. After defining terms and explaining methodology, he provides evidence for Republican opposition to the emperors. Then he analyzes the discourse of those who wrote during, or about, the period, to show the political importance that the Republic played and to highlight the ideological clash between the Republic and the Imperial.
