A History of Rome

Tenney Frank

4.9/5 (12383 ratings)

Description:This book is meant for a general audience, and details the rise and fall of Ancient Rome. Tenney Frank pays particular attention to the racial characteristics of the founding people, the Indo-European Latins, to which nation the Romans belonged. It is the peculiar characteristics of the Latins, and of their environment and experiences, that produced the foundational values behind the Republic: prudence, persistence, adherence to democracy, and a notable streak of conservatism. Although not very creative, the sobriety and pragmatism of the Romans allowed for a flexible and liberal system, which came to incorporate at first all of the Latins, then Italy via the Confederacy, and finally the entire Mediterranean. Tenney Frank documents how this newfound wealth and power came to undermine the Republic, and the characteristics that upheld it. Critical part was also played by the influx of foreigners, mainly of Oriental, but to a lesser extent of barbarian descent. First as slaves, and then through liberal manumission as voting citizens, these came to increasingly dominate and define Rome: its culture, religion, and waning democracy. Through the combined effects of the emperorship becoming seated by foreigners, the extinction of the aristocratic Roman families, and the overall dispersal of the founding stock of Latins, Rome came to lose its defining characteristics and devolved into despotism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
