Description

Description

As a dramatic artist, natural scientist, and philosopher, Plutarch is widely regarded as the most significant historian of his time, writing astute and concise descriptions of the greatest political and state figures of the classical period.

Drawn from the "Lives," a series of biographies spanning the Greco-Roman era, this collection illuminates the twilight of the old Roman Republic from 157-43 B.C. Whether depicting the would-be dictators Marius and Sulla, the battle between Crassus and Spartacus, the death of the political idealist Crato, the dramatic victory of Julius Caesar in Gaul, or the eloquent rhetoric of Cicero, all the stories offer a captivating picture of an empire beset by political divisions.

Deeply influential on Shakespeare and many other later writers, he continues to fascinate today with his exploration of corruption, decline, and the struggle for ultimate power.
