Reading Rome and Italy (Books VI-X) | Alexandria
Read Rome and Italy (Books VI-X) by Titus Livy. Uncovering how Rome's early republic shaped modern democracy, Livy's account reveals a surprising truth: political chaos can strengthen institutions. His chronicle of power struggles shows how conflict between plebeians and patricians created lasting checks and balances - a paradox that challenges our view of social harmony as the foundation of stable government.
