  The Roman Empire and Its Enemies...

  The rise of Rome is a story of resilience, military strength, and strategic diplomacy. Emerging from a small settlement along the Tiber River, Rome transformed into a dominant power that would shape the ancient world for centuries. The foundation of Rome’s success lay in its political adaptability, disciplined military, and ability to integrate conquered peoples into its expanding empire. 
  Rome began as a monarchy, but after the expulsion of its last king in 509 BCE, it became a republic governed by elected officials and a system of checks and balances. This new structure allowed Rome to expand without being solely reliant on a single ruler. The Roman Republic was marked by a strong Senate, magistrates, and popular assemblies, which provided a balance of power. However, as Rome grew, internal conflicts between the patrician elite and the plebeian class led to significant social and political reforms, further strengthening the state’s stability. 
  The backbone of Rome’s expansion was its formidable military. The Roman legions, composed of disciplined and well-trained soldiers, were unmatched in organization and adaptability. Unlike other ancient armies that relied heavily on individual heroism, Rome’s military success stemmed from its ability to fight as a cohesive unit. Roman soldiers were rigorously trained, equipped with superior weapons, and organized into flexible formations such as the manipular system, which allowed them to adapt to various battle conditions. This military efficiency enabled Rome to conquer neighboring territories, including the Latin League, the Etruscans, and the Samnites, solidifying its control over central Italy.

  Discourses on Livy

  Niccolò Machiavelli

  Discourses on Livy is the founding document of modern republicanism, and Harvey C. Mansfield and Nathan Tarcov have provided the definitive English translation of this classic work. Faithful to the original Italian text, properly attentive to Machiavelli’s idiom and subtlety of thought, it is eminently readable. With a substantial introduction, extensive explanatory notes, a glossary of key words, and an annotated index, the Discourses reveals Machiavelli’s radical vision of a new science of politics, a vision of “new modes and orders” that continue to shape the modern ethos. 
   
  “[Machiavelli] found in Livy the means to inspire scholars for five centuries. Within the Discourses, often hidden and sometimes unintended by their author, lie the seeds of modern political thought. . . . [Mansfield and Tarcov’s] translation is careful and idiomatic.”—Peter Stothard, The Times 
   
  ”Translated with painstaking accuracy—but also great readability.”—Weekly Standard 
   
  ”A model of contemporary scholarship and a brave effort at Machiavelli translation that allows the great Florentine to speak in his own voice.”—Choice

  Peter Kreeft, esteemed philosophy professor and author of over eighty books, has taught college philosophy for sixty years. Throughout those decades, he yearned for a beginner's philosophy text that was clear, accessible, enjoyable, and exciting (perhaps even funny). Finding none that met those criteria, he eventually decided to write it himself.  In this four-volume series, Kreeft delivers, with his characteristic wit and clarity, an introduction to philosophy via the hundred greatest philosophers of all time. Socrates’ Children examines the big ideas of four major eras―ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary―and immerses the reader in the “great conversation,” the ongoing dialogue among the great thinkers of history, including the most influential philosopher of all: Socrates, the father of Western philosophy. Volume II: Medieval Philosophers studies the transformation of philosophy that came about due to an unprecedented figure―Jesus Christ―and considers the philosophers of the great monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as they sought to marry the Greek philosophical tradition with divine revelation.
