Description

The advice given to Cicero by his astute, campaign-conscious brother to prepare him for the consular elections of 64 BC, has a modern ring: "Avoid taking a definite stand on great public issues either in the Senate or before the people. Bend your energies towards making friends of all key men in all classes of voters". This is a commentary on that text, designed to clarify the true meaning in Roman political life of such terms as "party" and "faction". The book explains the mechanics of Roman politics as it discusses the relations of nobles and their clients, the manipulation of the state religion for political expedience and the practical means of delivering the vote.
