Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - They commanded legions, governed provinces, and shaped the ancient world. Yet the men who held power in Rome also presided over its long unraveling. This book traces how military success and political decay fed each other across centuries of Roman… history, from the late Republic through the twilight of the Western Empire. It examines the institutional mechanisms that turned battlefield triumphs into civil wars, and how the Senate's loss of authority created vacuums filled by generals who answered only to their armies. The narrative follows the shifting logic of loyalty-from service to the Republic to personal allegiance to commanders-and shows how each reform intended to stabilize the state instead accelerated its fragmentation. Readers encounter the structural contradictions that made Rome both unstoppable abroad and brittle at home: a system built on conquest that could not govern what it took, and a military apparatus that eventually consumed the political order it was meant to protect. The book closes by reflecting on what the Roman experience reveals about the lifespan of hegemonic power and the quiet costs of imperial overreach.
