Descrizione: Libertas and Res Publica in the Roman Republic offers some essential ideas for an understanding of Roman politics during the Republican period by analysing two key concepts: libertas (liberty) and res publica (public matter, republic). Exploring these concepts through a variety of different aspects – legal, religious, literary, political, and cultural – this book aims to explain the profound relationship between the two. Through the examination of a rich array of sources ranging from classical authors to coins, from legal texts to works of art, Balmaceda and her co-authors propose new readings that elucidate the complex meanings and inter-related functions of libertas and res publica, in a thought-provoking, deep, but very readable study of Roman political culture and identity [Brill] Publishing year : 2020 - Copyright Year: 2021 Introduction, 1–14 Chapter 1 : Carlos Amunátegui, Archaic Ideas on the Concept of Libertas, 15–32 Chapter 2 : Catalina Balmaceda, Libertas in Early Latin Authors, 33–54 Chapter 3 : Valentina Arena, The God Liber and Republican Notions of Libertas in the Late Roman Republic, 55–83 [Arena 2020] Chapter 4 : Harriet I.
