Living and Dying in the Roman Republic</a>

Living and Dying in the Roman Republic

This volume deals with the American production „Spartacus“ and the British-American-Italian co-production Rome. In the examination of the present, a turn to Greek or Roman antiquity can be observed again and again. To find there the roots of Western society for politics, economics or philosophy, or to derive comparative arguments for expansionist efforts or decline, is not just part of the rhetorical commonplace.
