The Struggle for Roman Citizenship (Gorgias Studies in Classical and Late Antiquity, #2)
by Seth Kendall
Between 91 and 77 BCE a series of wars were fought in Italy which left the Roman commonwealth in shambles and involved efforts on the part of Rome's non-citizen Italian allies to obtain the rights of Roman citizenship.

In a major reinterpretation of the sources, Rome and the Enemy shows that concepts of n...
The Invisible Satirist offers a fresh new reading of the Satires of Juvenal, rediscovering the poet as a smart and scathing commentator on the cultural and political world of second-century Rome. Breaking away from the focus in recent scholarship on issues of genre, this study situates Juvenal's Satires within the context of the politics, oratory, and philosophy of Rome under Trajan and Hadrian. In particular, the book shows how Juvenal offers a distinctively Roman response to the Greek sophists...
