What is The Assassination of Julius Caesar: A People's History of Ancient Rome (New Press People's History) about?

Most historians, both ancient and modern, have viewed the Late Republic of Rome through the eyes of its rich nobility. In __The Assassination of Julius Caesar__, Michael Parenti presents us with a story of popular resistance against entrenched power and wealth. As he carefully weighs the evidence concerning the murder of Caesar, Parenti sketches in the background to the crime with fascinating detail about wider Roman society. In these pages we find reflections on the democratic struggle waged by Roman commoners, religious augury as an instrument of social control, the patriarchal oppression of women, and the political use of homophobic attacks. __The Assassination of Julius Caesar__ offers a whole new perspective on an era we thought we knew well.
