Debates about the legitimacy and ‘essence’ of political rule and the search for ‘ideal’ forms of government have been at the very heart of political thought ever since its beginnings in the Ancient World. Caesarism in the Post-Revolutionary Age explores the complex relationship between democracy and dictatorship from the 18th century onwards. More concretely, it assesses how, during the post-revolutionary period, democracy emerged as something compatible with dictatorship, both on the level of political thought and practice.

Cicero composed his incendiary Philippics only a few months after Rome was rocked by the brutal assassination of Julius Caesar. In the tumultuous aftermath of Caesar's death, Cicero and Mark Antony found themselves on opposing sides of an increasingly bitter and dangerous battle for control. Philippic 2 was a weapon in that war. Conceived as Cicero's response to a verbal attack from Antony in the Senate, Philippic 2 is a rhetorical firework that ranges from abusive references to Antony's supposedly sordid sex life to a sustained critique of what Cicero saw as Antony's tyrannical ambitions. Vituperatively brilliant and politically committed, it is both a carefully crafted literary artefact and an explosive example of crisis rhetoric. It ultimately led to Cicero's own gruesome death. This course book offers a portion of the original Latin text, vocabulary aids, study questions, and an extensive commentary. Designed to stretch and stimulate readers, Ingo Gildenhard's volume will be of particular interest to students of Latin studying for A-Level or on undergraduate courses. It extends beyond detailed linguistic analysis to encourage critical engagement with Cicero, his oratory, the politics of late-republican Rome, and the transhistorical import of Cicero's politics of verbal (and physical) violence.

This book’s presentation of the republican Roman institutions and their history enables the reader to clearly distinguish between what we know from ancient sources and the contemporary knowledge based on modern research. The main goal consists in first presenting the well-documented Roman institutions of the last centuries of the Republic and then analysing the reliability of the ancient sources which deal with the origins of these institutions since the foundation of Rome.

À la suite de la bataille d’Actium, Auguste est parvenu à fonder un régime politique durable, communément appelé principat, dont la nature continue à faire débat. L’apparition au début des années 20 av. J.-C. du thème de la Res publica restituta, à la fois slogan et programme politique qui faisaient d’Auguste le restaurateur de l’État romain, n’est pas le moindre des paradoxes. Si l’historiographie reste sensible aux ruptures qui résultaient de la mainmise sur l’État d’un seul homme et de sa famille, il y a place également pour une étude des continuités que le nouveau régime n’a cessé de mettre en avant à ses débuts. Les organisateurs du colloque de Nantes, Fr. Hurlet et B. Mineo, ont rassemblé une équipe internationale d’une vingtaine de chercheurs pour susciter un échange de points de vue sur le sujet entre littéraires, historiens, historiens de l’art et archéologues. Les auteurs augustéens – historien comme Tite-Live, poètes comme Virgile, Horace ou Ovide – ont été l’objet d’une attention particulière à travers l’étude de leur perception du nouveau régime et de la nature de leurs relations avec le prince ; l’enquête a été étendue aux auteurs postérieurs à Auguste qui ont traité de la naissance du principat (Tacite et Dion Cassius). Les épigraphistes et les numismates ont analysé la manière dont le nouveau régime cherchait à se présenter sur les inscriptions et les monnaies afin de mieux saisir toutes les subtilités du discours officiel. La mise en forme des pouvoirs impériaux et l’attitude de l’aristocratie au moment de la mise en place du principat ont fait également l’objet d’études spécifiques. Ont été prises en compte les images liées au nouveau pouvoir – monuments, demeure d’Auguste sur le Palatin, statues, reliefs, cérémonies religieuses – comme support matériel de l’idéologie impériale. Un tel faisceau de points de vue permet de mieux se représenter dans toute leur complexité les fondements du principat augustéen à sa naissance.

This edited volume is about the rekindled investment in the figure of the first president Julius K. Nyerere in contemporary Tanzania. It explores how Nyerere is remembered by Tanzanians from different levels of society, in what ways and for what purposes. Looking into what Nyerere means and stands for today, it provides insight into the media, the political arena, poetry, the education sector, or street-corner talks. The main argument of this book is that Nyerere has become a widely shared political metaphor used to debate and contest conceptions of the Tanzanian nation and Tanzanian-ness. The state-citizens relationship, the moral standards for the exercise of power, and the contours of national sentiment are under scrutiny when the figure of Nyerere is mobilized today. The contributions gathered here come from a generation of budding or renowned scholars in varied disciplines - history, anthropology and political science. Drawing upon materials collected through extensive fieldwork and archival research, they all critically engage the existing literature about Tanzania and prevailing political narratives to explore how nationhood is (re)imagined in Tanzania today through assent and contest.
