SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists.

What does the face of power look like? Who gets commemorated in art and why? And how do we react to statues of politicians we deplore?

Questo saggio storico ripercorre la vita dello spietato despota, mostrandone però anche il lato meno noto: vittima, da un lato, di una psiche disturbata che lo spinse a uccidere la sua stessa madre, fu dall'altro anche uomo pronto a schierarsi dalla parte del popolo. E sono state proprio le sue eroiche gesta a cambiare per sempre il corso della storia.

Efter sex års krig mot de galliska stammarna kunde Julius Caesar år 52 före Kristus konstatera att ännu en av romarrikets fiender kuvats. Nästan en miljon galler blev slavar, och Gallien blev ytterligare en provins i det växande romerska imperiet.

La guerra civile che sconvolse l'impero romano d'Occidente tra il 350 e il 353 d.C. lasciò le frontiere indebolite, consentendo alle confederazioni dei Germani stanziate lungo il Reno di occupare parti della Gallia romana. Nel 355 l'imperatore Costanzo II nominò quindi cesare suo cugino Giuliano, di soli ventitré anni, affidandogli il comando, dapprima solo teorico, di tutte le truppe galliche. Nonostante la sua giovane età, Giuliano si dimostrò un comandante capace, riguadagnando progressivamente terreno e arginando per quasi due anni le reazioni degli Alemanni.

For hundreds of years, Palmyra’s wealth was a testament to its greatness, and its leaders displayed their political acumen by playing the middleman between the powerful Roman and Parthian Empires. As a result, the Palmyrenes built an eclectic culture that was as sophisticated as any of their contemporaries, but eventually the leadership of Palmyra overestimated their power and the greatness of their city quickly came crumbling down. One of the most significant females in late antiquity was Zenobia, who for just a few short years in the late 3rd century CE ruled the wealthy Palmyra.
