[PU: Stuttgart, Franz Steiner Vlg.], 225 S. Gr.-8°, Ppbd. Neuwertiges Ex. / Fine Copy // Modern interpretations of the late Roman Republic have been dominated by the twin concepts of `populares` and `optimates`, commonly assumed to refer to two antithetical political categories. However, the definition of these groups is much debated: some historians see them as ideological movements or traditions, others as differences of political style and method. This book asks whether this debate may in fact be chasing a mirage. Through a detailed analysis of the usage of the two terms in Cicero and his close contemporaries, it is argued that they carried no clear political meaning. What emerges instead is a political language focused on the elite`s fundamental concerns about internal divisions and the maintenance of aristocratic consensus.
