Summary
Kosta Čavoški: Genius Romanus
The book deals with the history of the Eternal City from its foundation to the end of the empire. Kosta Čavoški explains and observes the key features of Roman legal and state culture. It shows how much the modern world owes to Rome and how much wisdom is stored in its history. Reading this book, we can only admire the love of Roman citizens for their people and country.
The author presents the Roman state idea and internal arrangement. The institutions of classical Rome, which are at the root of modern European institutions, are especially important to him. Čavoški analyzes in detail the writings of all the great classical historians of antiquity and the early Middle Ages about the causes of the rise and fall of ancient Rome. With this book, you will get to know the thoughts and deeds of the great Roman senators and tribunes, whose influence still resonates today.
All of them left a great idea to the world: that the state is the common good of its free citizens. That is why this book is also a mirror for each of us.
Read how the ancient Romans behaved in great trials and crises and compare them with modern statesmen. You will see that our age is different in terms of technical aids, but that the old, broken man is still hiding behind a modern mask. His selfishness and corruption destroyed the strongest power of the old world and will destroy states even today.
