Roman Republics
by Harriet I Flower
Flower has a really original and striking interpretation of Roman history, and she explains it very clearly in this short book. The thesis is that the Roman Republic is not a single, monolithic power from the very beginning, and then 450 years later it suddenly crumbles and falls to pieces in the first century BC. She says there were multiple republics.
