Synopsis
The Roman History, From The Building Of Rome To The Ruin Of The Commonwealth by Nathaniel Hooke surveys the late Roman Republic through the era of Julius Caesar and the civil wars that redefine Rome's political order. It chronicles Caesar's clash with Pompey and the aristocratic factions, the Senate's attempts to recall him and strip his command, and Caesar's dramatic crossing of the Rubicon, which signals open rebellion and begins a rapid consolidation of power across Italy. The narrative follows Caesar's swift movements through the peninsula, his victories at Corfinium, his duel with Labienus who defects to Pompey, and the fraught negotiations between envoys in a fragile bid for a political settlement. It then traces Pompey's relocation to Brundisium, the strategic push toward the Adriatic and Greece, and the public mood—divided between fears of tyranny and hopes for lawful governance. The work also covers the broader aftermath: Caesar's postwar reforms, the calendar reform that establishes a solar year and leap-year system engineered by Sosigenes, the expansion of the Senate, mercy toward enemies, and the ongoing debate over liberty under a centralizing power. The book blends political history, biographical detail, and moral reflection on the Republic's fate.
