Constructions of peace in the political landscape of the late Roman Republic

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

While contemporaries in late Republican politics agreed notionally on the importance of peace and harmony within the state, having some form of shared understanding and unity of concept, ideas concerning the purpose, function and application of such notions differed and became a means for confrontations with, or passing judgement on, one’s political opponents. This paper explores how concepts of, and spaces for, peace were constructed, communicated and challenged as markers of internal stability and social order during the conflicts that mired the last century of the Roman Republic.
