Roman Public Life
Roman Public Life, published in 1901 by A. H. J. Greenidge, an Oxford lecturer in ancient history, traces the growth of the Roman constitution and explains how it worked. Greenidge begins with the earliest constitution, the patricians, plebeians and clients, the family and the monarchy, and the reforms attributed to Servius Tullius. He then examines the developed Republic, its magistrates, Senate and assemblies, and the Principate that replaced it, before turning to the courts, public finance, the government of Italian towns and the administration of the provinces. A select bibliography of sources and modern works opens the volume. The book is compact but thorough. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
