[Usyd_Classics_Events] Reminder: Final CAH Research Seminar for Semester 1: June 10

[Ben Brown]

Dear Friends,

You are cordially invited to our final Classics and Ancient History/CCANESA online research seminar for semester 1:

10th of June 10th at 4 for 4.15pm.

Associate Professor Frederik Vervaet (University of Melbourne).

‘Constitutional innovation during the Second Punic War (218-201 BCE): some unintended consequences.’

Abstract:
The severe crises and challenges of the Second Punic War (218-201 BCE) prompted the traditionally conservative Roman Senate to introduce several institutional innovations, some ad hoc, for a single purpose, others eventually becoming structural fixtures of the republican machinery of state. This paper endeavours to single out and discuss those novelties that would have significant if unintended consequences in the late Republic, as they served as precedents for some of the most contested extraordinary empowerments arrogated by a number of autocratic strongmen, from Sulla Felix to Augustus Caesar.
