About Restraint, Conflict, and the Fall of the Roman Republic

Strongly-held values can stabilize a society. They can also splinter it. In Restraint, Conflict, and the Fall of the Roman Republic , Paul Belonick explores the moral paradoxes of Republican Rome. He describes how aristocrats engaged in and “performative politics, and ” aggressively seeking self-advancement with a competitiveness that fueled the expansion of an empire. But, paradoxically, Roman orators and authors also emphasized the need for self-control, moderation, and temperance. Scholars have long suggested that this moral obsession with self-control was merely a social marker of aristocratic status, but Belonick argues that the Roman focus on self-control solidified their peculiar, competitive, semi-formal government.Belonick then considers how values of restraint could both stabilize and de-stabilize Rome’s political system. As conflicts arose over how to apply these values to novel circumstances, competitors saw each other as desecrating Republican principles and therefore as targets to be eradicated. Belonick illustrates both sides of the Roman how values of self-control legitimized the Romans’ competition and supported their fluid social structure and political institutionsand then tore the Republic apart. Restraint, Conflict, and the Fall of the Roman Republic presents a fresh perspective on the collapse of one of the most prominent societies in history.
