The Assassination Of Julius Caesar by Michael Parenti
A People's History of Ancient Rome
A sharp, revisionist history that rejects elite propaganda and argues Caesar was a popular reformer whose programs for debt relief, land redistribution, veterans’ settlement, and broader political inclusion threatened Rome’s oligarchy; his murder by senatorial conspirators is presented as an act of class defense rather than pure republican virtue, and the assassination’s aftermath—propaganda, civil war, and the destruction of popular reforms—paved the way for the consolidation of autocratic power.
