History & Society Politics Leadership & Corp Culture

From a tragic assault that sparked revolution to Caesar's rise to power, explore how Rome's radical experiment in elected leadership shaped 500 years of history and influences democracy today.

Miglior citazione da The Rise and Fall of Rome's Republic

The Roman Republic died because people chose power over principle and personal gain over the common good; it serves as a masterclass in how democratic institutions are fragile and depend on shared norms that can erode surprisingly quickly.
