One particular strength of Bringmann's study is that he frequently challenges the traditional interpretation of various events or policies, thereby preventing his work from being a mere historical narrative. I would certainly recommend this work to anyone interested in the history of the Roman Republic.<br /> </p> <p><b>Christopher Epplett, <i>University of Lethbridge</i></b></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>KLAUS BRINGMANN</b>, Professor of Greek and Roman History, Johann Wolfgang Goethe University, Frankfurt am Main.
