Alison Rosenblitt\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eRome after Sulla\u003c\/i\u003e offers a new perspective on the damaged, volatile, and conflictual political culture of the late Roman republic. The book begins with a narrative of the years immediately following the dictatorship of Sulla (80-77 BC), providing both a new reconstruction of events and original analysis of key sources including Cicero's \u003ci\u003epro Roscio\u003c\/i\u003e, Appian, the Livian tradition, and Sallust's \u003ci\u003eHistoriae\u003c\/i\u003e. Arguing that Sulla's settlement was never stable, \u003ci\u003eRome after Sulla\u003c\/i\u003e emphasises the uncertainty and fear felt by contemporaries and the problems caused in Rome by consciousness of the injustices of the Sullan settlement and its lack of moral legitimacy. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book argues that the events and the unresolved traumas of the first civil war of the Roman republic triggered profound changes in Roman political culture, to which Sallust's \u003ci\u003emagnum opus\u003c\/i\u003e, his now-fragmentary \u003ci\u003eHistoriae\u003c\/i\u003e, is our best guide. An in-depth exploration of a new, more Sallust-centred vision of the late republic contributes to the historical picture not only of the legacy of Sulla, but also of Caesar and of Rome's move from republic to autocratic rule. The book studies a society grappling with a question broader than its own times: what is the price of stability?\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.
