Builders of the Roman Empire
29.99 €
The era of civil wars in Rome (133–31 BC) was a turning point not only in Roman but also in world history. It was during this time that the Roman Republic perished, replaced by the empire of Caesar and Augustus. As a result of these wars, the Roman-Italian state turned into a huge Mediterranean empire.
The era of civil wars gave a large number of outstanding personalities. This was the time of the activity of the Gracchi brothers, Marius, Sulla, Sertorius, Lucullus, Crassus, Cato, Cicero, Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and Julius Caesar. All of them, willingly or unwillingly, contributed to the formation of the future Roman Empire. Their fates were different, often tragic: the Gracchi brothers died, Sertorius and Pompey fell at the hands of assassins, Crassus was killed after being routed by the Parthians, Lucullus, who had been removed from office, died "at the right time" amid incredible luxury, Cato committed suicide, Cicero became a victim of proscriptions, and even Julius Caesar died as a result of a conspiracy. And yet they created a great empire that became the foundation of the future world civilization.
