Books by Arthur Keaveney

While Lucullus is one of the great figures of the late Roman republic, his achievements have been overshadowed by a reputation for luxurious living. This book explodes the legend and restores Lucullus to his true position as soldier, politician and aesthete.

The Roman Revolution is one of the most momentous periods of change in history, in which an imperial but quasidemocratic power changed into an autocracy. This book studies the way the Roman army changed in the last years of the Republic, so that an army of imperial conquest became a set of rival personal armies under the control of the triumvirs.

In this second edition of his classic biography, the leading authority on the classical world introduces a fresh generation of student, scholars and readers to a pivotal figure of Rome.
