- Abstract
The book "Political Conversations in Late Republican Rome" by Cristina Rosillo-López examines the significance of personal political conversations in the Roman Republic. The author argues that these conversations often influenced the content and framework of public sessions. The book systematically analyzes scattered evidence of such conversations and provides insights into their functioning within the social and political environment of the Roman Republic. It also emphasizes the need to expand the definition of participation in Roman politics to include additional groups such as freedmen and elite women. The book offers valuable insights into the political culture of this time.
