About This Book

This study traces Roman political evolution from early monarchy through republic to imperial autocracy, examines institutional shifts before and after Augustus, and analyzes how Rome adapted governance to vast territorial expansion and diverse populations. It compares Roman and modern political ideas—relations between church and state, individual versus state, constitutions, separation of powers, judiciary, citizenship, taxation, and imperialism—and discusses shared problems such as race and labor issues, electoral practices, political bosses, recalls, military pensions, paternalism, and urban growth, concluding with reflections on continuities and distinctions that illuminate contemporary political questions.
