Review of The Roman Revolution by Ronald Syme
Can you compare to ‘The storm before the storm?’ This was excellent and led nicely to Goldsworthy’s books.
I did not read that one, but I did listen to his entire podcast on Rome. The Roman Revolution is an academic analysis about institutions and not a narrative. I would recommend Rubicon (https://crawdaddy.substack.com/p/a-republic-dies?utm_source=publication-search)
Thank you. Rubicon is great. It’s where I recommend people start if they want a general easy to read intro about the end of the Republic.
