I think MM's got the much stronger side of both arguments there. That said, I'm not as sanguine as MM is when it comes to Caesar's death. That many people (obviously not all) saw Caesar as a tyrant is, I think, unavoidable. MM's semi-apologism that citizens could distinguish freedom for people and for senators even if true isn't that relevant.

(I'd often been thinking how relevant <i>How Democracies Die</i> was, so that long discussion of it was very satisfying.) I didn't always follow MM's arguments, such as that the Senate forced Caesar's incursion, but I might on re-reading and I'm certainly totally open to blaming Cato for pretty much anything. Meanwhile MM's quite transformed my understanding of the People's role in the constitution of the late Republic, generally and in specifics like <i>contiones</i>.

Frankly I think it's the most convincing explanation of the start of the war. Though, I wouldn't say it was "the senate" or "Caesar" which was to blame. They were stuck in a cycle of mistrust. Even Caesar's realisation that his position was essentially military intimidation and his following adjustment late in the crisis (Pompey should withdraw to Spain and Caesar keeps one legion in Illyricum) doesn't feel entirely sufficient.</dd> <dd>If you're Cato et al: this rogue governor has been trying to militarily intimidate you and rabble-rouse at Rome for the last year. Can you really believe him when he says he's going to give up all but one legion? Will he actually do it while you send away your only hope to defend Italy through <i>his</i> territory? You don't trust Caesar; assume bad faith and this turns from an offer into a ploy. "It's one of those ploys he's been playing on Gauls, Germans, and Britons for the last decade.

I think the fact that the republic fell in ... some year between 49 BC and AD 14 has hugely coloured historians' perspectives on it. Imagine a world where the republic did not fall from, say, the time of Cicero. What kind of things would have had to have happened? Certainly the middle and late 50s BC were not a great time for the republic but after 52 and the restoration of order these problems may have been on their way out. The new law on provincial assignments were just coming into effect and probably would have helped to stabilise politics.</dd> <dd>Part of the weakness of the Sullan republic was the death of essentially the entire <i>real</i> political elite in the Social and Sullan wars. Another decade and there would finally be enough ex-consuls to return to a state of normalcy and an end to the state of affairs where the darling of the senate is an ex-praetor (Cato lost his only bid for the consulship). Actually assigning someone to the forests and country lanes of Italy (derided in Caesar's first consulship as a ploy) really was something that was necessary given the mobs of bandits patrolling the peninsula; time enough would have aged such men out.</dd> <dd>The republic's fall was within the context of the disruptions of the Social and Sullan wars. If it had had more time for those disruptions to ease, if there weren't a Caesarian civil war, or maybe even if Antony had just bit it like Hirtius and Pansa during the <a href="/wiki/Mutina_war" class="mw-redirect" title="Mutina war">Mutina war</a>, we would probably be talking of a very different course for Roman history. Maybe the republic would even have fallen in the third century (amid plague and climate change) instead of in this last half century BC.

I wasn't fully persuaded in the main chapters that the preservation of Caesar's <i>dignitas </i>was so vital as to necessitate marching into Italy with legions but that might be my failure to read MM thoughtfully enough or to grasp Roman psychology, or reflect some pusillanimous mildness of my own. I don't really mind, because I can just be enthralled without having to make my mind up (cf Brian May "astronomy's much more fun when you're not an astronomer").</dd> <dd>And yes, that mistrust and gambiting was in part the product of the losses of the Social and Sullan wars, wiping out many of the gatekeepers and fatally interrupting the maintenance of the norms that are (<i>HDD</i> again) as or more important than the constitution. MM keeps his thought experiment brief, but if Caesar had survived to fight the Parthian campaign and Rome had experienced three years of not even fighting elections, we might be looking back on his <i>clementia</i> as a key component of the republic's recovery.</dd> <dd>I blame the meddling time-travellers.

The chapter by Powell, "Anticipating Octavian's failure: from Tauromenium to the death of Cleopatra", is some rather interesting reading. I think I would have wanted to see some chapters on the republic (like what if Lepidus had won in 79, Pompey was victorious in 48, etc) but of course there's probably insufficient information for a

Within a few days, you changed it back. I'm writing to revisit that revision / reversion with you. Let's see whether I can win you over to my revision. </p><p>The question that the sentence at issue aims to answer is, Which was there more of? Cicero's surviving writings or any other Latin author's surviving writings? </p><p>The question that it actually answers, by contrast, is, Which was there more of? Cicero's surviving writings or any other Latin author? </p><p>The present locution's syntactic illogic might be easier to recognize if you substitute a specific Latin author for the hypothetical one. It would make sense to compare Cicero's surviving writings to, for example, Virgil's surviving writings, and to say which one's surviving writings outnumber the other's. But it makes no sense to compare Cicero's surviving writings to Virgil himself, or, as the locution you have restored does, to "any other Latin author." </p><p>Forgive me, but I enjoy this sort of thing. Just as you have a hankering to share your insight into ancient Rome (Bravo, by the way!), I get fidgety about incorrect grammar, syntax, and usage. </p><p>If I've persuaded you, please say so. I will then joyously restore my revision.
