Fraternal Republics: The Immortality of Roman Social Politics

By Matt Martin

From comparing the rise of Julius Caesar to that of George Washington, to the actions of Nero in comparison to Donald Trump. This book serves to present a survey of both Roman and American history, while demonstrating a continuity between the two socially, militarily, and politically. Did Catiline really intend to destroy the Roman Republic, or was he a victim of the wrathful Cicero? Is Donald Trump as insane as he is often portrayed to be, or is he on the wrong side of a media smear campaign; like Emperor Nero who has been immortalized as a monstrous, sexual deviant because of the media's inherent dislike of him? Is the "new" political theory of democratic socialism, popularized by Senator Bernie Sanders, actually just a continuation of a several millennia old idea of using federal funds to improve the life of, and appease the general populace?
