Exploring these concepts through a variety of different aspects – legal, religious, literary, political, and cultural – this book aims to explain the profound relationship between the two. Through the examination of a rich array of sources ranging from classical authors to coins, from legal texts to works of art, Balmaceda and her co-authors propose new readings that elucidate the complex meanings and inter-related functions of libertas and res publica, in a thought-provoking, deep, but very readable study of Roman political culture and identity.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This volume succeeds in prompting a desire for further study of what the relevant terms mean politically, which must involve Roman citizens of different statuses, as well as women, foreigners and the enslaved.\" Panayiotis Christoforou, BMCR 2022.07.07\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbbreviations  Notes on Contributors   Introduction    Catalina Balmaceda      1 Archaic Ideas on the Concept of Libertas    Carlos Amunátegui      2 Libertas in Early Latin Authors    Catalina Balmaceda      3 The God Liber and Republican Notions of Libertas in the Late Roman Republic    Valentina Arena      4 The Freedom of the Rhodians: Cato the Elder and Demosthenes    Harriet Flower      5 Ex Imperio Libertas: Freedom and Republican Empire    Clifford Ando      6 The Notion of Res Publica and Its Conflicting Meanings at the End of the Roman Republic    Claudia Moatti      7 The Consulship under the Triumvirs: a Phantom Office?    Francisco Pina Polo      8 Arbitration in the Res Publica: a Novel Way of Solving Internal Political Conflicts in the 40s and 30s BC    Cristina Rosillo-López      9 The Auctoritas and Libertas of Augustus: Metamorphosis of the Roman res publica    Frédéric Hurlet      10 A Great and Arduous Struggle: Marcus Antonius and the Rhetoric of Libertas in 44–43 BC    Jeff Tatum      11 Res Publica, Libertas and Free Speech in Retrosp","brand":"Brill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51586055110999,"sku":"9789004441293","price":114.4,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/libertas-and-res-publica-in-the-roman-republic-ideas-of-freedom-and-roman-politics-9789004441293","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
