BELONICK, P., Restraint, Conflict, and the Fall of the Roman Republic. Oxford University Press, 2023. 240p. Hardback. Belonick's argument is fascinating and timely. He examines how the Roman values of restraint that long served to limit the destructive aspects of competition among the leadership of the Republic gradually broke down, enabling political competition to become destructive to the state. By focusing on the nuances within the language of restraint used by elites, he demonstrates how political rivals could both claim to be acting with restraint when in reality they were doing nothing of the kind.
