By reconstructing Roman political thinking about liberty against the background of Classical and Hellenistic thought, it excavates two distinct intellectual traditions on the means allowing for the preservation and the loss of libertas. Considering the interplay of these traditions in the political debates of the first century BC, Dr Arena offers a significant reinterpretation of the political struggles of the time as well as a radical reappraisal of the role played by the idea of liberty in the practice of politics. She argues that, as a result of its uses in rhetorical debates, libertas underwent a form of conceptual change at the end of the Republic and came to legitimize a new course of politics, which led progressively to the transformation of the whole political system"--$$cProvided by publisher. 000887964 650_0 $$aLiberty$$xHistory. 000887964 650_0 $$aPolitical science$$zRome$$xHistory. 000887964 651_0 $$aRome$$xHistory$$yRepublic, 265-30 B.C. 000887964 651_0 $$aRome$$xPolitics and government$$y265-30 B.C. 000887964 852__ $$bebk 000887964 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete $$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=1099914$$zOnline Access 000887964 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:887964$$pGLOBAL_SET 000887964 980__ $$aEBOOK 000887964 980__ $$aBIB 000887964 982__ $$aEbook 000887964 983__ $$aOnline
