具体描述
Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.

贯穿全书的除了中下层自由民之外，还有反叛者妇女各地的“本地人”奴隶与释放奴， 以及因为帝国的扩张身份较难界定的人。众生相中包括酒馆中酩酊大醉的顾客，死后不用再为房租担心的释奴，妇女不但有自己的主词条，还有二次索引， 比如“生育的风险”“儿童新娘”“关于被解放...
评分罗马史向来有很多种写法，最受大众欢迎的显然是军事史和英雄史，政治史和“法治”史更学究一些，风俗史等等也有不少读者。在众多史著中，Beard的这部作品更显突出，作者在谋篇布局中，将元老院的角色放在了中心舞台上，各色人等鱼贯上下，与元老制产生互动，在互动的过程中，梳...

评分当下出版市场上，由专业历史学者撰写的通俗历史读物，一直颇受读者欢迎。然而一个令人深思的现象是，这类书籍的作者大部分是外国人，从前几年畅销的日本讲谈社中国历史丛书，到近些年国内甲骨文工作室策划的一系列世界史书目，都能说明这个问题。无论是否愿意承认，中国学者多...

评分从Romulus到Caracalla，国王（酋邦）时代到共和体制，内战后迎接Caesar的时代，最终在罗马公民改革中戛然而止。可读性非常强的专栏历史。皇帝个性的差异只会影响少数精英人群，而与屠戮仅一线之隔的平民生活理应更有历史研究的价值。作者围绕SPQR有意避开连篇累牍的帝王传记，转而展开罗马人民和社会底层的叙述，可惜历史终究是胜利者和统治者书写的，相关的史料只在三四个章节中涵盖，关于元老院本身的描绘也比预期少了很多。
评分为啥不再写两百年~
