About this title: The Roman Revolution is a profound and unconventional treatment of a great theme - the fall of the Republic and the decline of freedom in Rome between 60 BC and AD 14, and the rise to power of the greatest of the Roman Emperors, Augustus. The transformation of state and society, the violent transference of power and property, and the establishment of Augustus' rule are presented in an unconventional narrative, which quotes from ancient evidence, refers seldomly to modern authorities, and states controversial opinions quite openly. The result is a book which is both fresh and compelling.

"This book is much discussed in the field of Classics (sometimes in terms that are laudatory, sometimes not), so I felt I had a professional obligation to read it. Sad to say, I started once in 2006 but didn't get far, left off, and did not pick it up again until 2009. This time I stuck with it, and I must say, Syme's scholarship is very impressive, if a little dry - and here, "a little dry" is a euphemism for "made my eyeballs crack and bleed." Still, Syme has a depth of scholarship now largely vanished from out world, and it is impressive."
"Mr Syme's penetrating account of the end of the Roman Republic is still worth reading today. It's worth remembering that he wrote this book shortly before World War II commenced in earnest, and the parallels become clear at various points in the book. His take on events is focused and provoking. A great read."
"This work is the best book on Roman politics during and immediately after the fall of the Roman Republic. Ronald Syme combines that rare ability of quality writing with excellent historical analysis. A must read for anybody interested in Roman studies."
