Summary |
"The Roman Assemblies from their Origin to the End of the Republic" by George Willis Botsford is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This scholarly work provides a comprehensive examination of the popular assemblies of ancient Rome, exploring their development, structure, and significance within the Roman political system. The book aims to shed new light on how these assemblies functioned and their impact on the society and governance of the Republic. The opening of the book serves as an introduction to the study of the Roman assemblies, detailing the author's intention to present a systematic and detailed treatment of the subject. Botsford references historical theories and the limitations of previous scholarship, asserting that a fresh perspective is necessary to understand the complexities of the assemblies. He begins by discussing the early political divisions of the Roman people, termed the populi, and provides insight into the origins and functions of the curiae and tribes, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the evolution of Rome's political landscape and the role of popular sovereignty in its democratic practices.
