具体描述
The Roman Republic was the most remarkable state in history. What began as a small community of peasants camped among marshes and hills ended up ruling the known world. Rubicon paints a vivid portrait of the Republic at the climax of its greatness - the same greatness which would herald the catastrophe of its fall. It is a story of incomparable drama. This was the century of Julius Caesar, the gambler whose addiction to glory led him to the banks of the Rubicon, and beyond; of Cicero, whose defence of freedom would make him a byword for eloquence; of Spartacus, the slave who dared to challenge a superpower; of Cleopatra, the queen who did the same. Tom Holland brings to life this strange and unsettling civilization, with its extremes of ambition and self-sacrifice, bloodshed and desire. Yet alien as it was, the Republic still holds up a mirror to us. Its citizens were obsessed by celebrity chefs, all-night dancing and exotic pets; they fought elections in law courts and were addicted to spin; they toppled foreign tyrants in the name of self-defence. Two thousand years may have passed, but we remain the Romans' heirs.

评分89页对于图片的解释是：“庞贝城的竞技场里，角斗士在相互搏杀，观众在场外叫嚷着。壁画作于公元前1世纪。” 根据雷梅治的《罗马艺术》，对此幅图的详细解释应该是根据塔西佗记述的一场发生在公元59年的庞贝人和他们的近邻努凯利亚（Nuceria）之间的骚乱（塔西佗《编年史》4.17...
