Great!
This book challenges the view of Caesar being a despot, and explains the politics of ancient Rome. Parenti explains the devious and dishonest behaviour of Cicero, who is admired by some historians. The book gives an idea of what life was like for ordinary citizens, slaves, and the victims of Rome's foreign conquests. Parenti doesn't try and present his views as 'objective', rather he is explicit about what he thinks and backs this up with evidence. He explains the policies of reformers like Caesar and the Gracchi brothers, who wanted to improve the lives of ordinary people. Parenti shows how the politics of Rome is similar to our modern day political system, which has the veneer of democracy but is designed for the rich.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
