Discorsi di Niccolò Machiavelli Sopra la Prima Deca di Tito Livio, Vol. 2

Description: This book is a study of the first ten books of Livy's history of Rome from the author's perspective. Written during a time of political instability in the author's home city of Florence, Italy, the book derives many of its examples from Roman history in order to demonstrate the author's political philosophy. The author argues that the key to Rome's success was not its military power, as many before him had argued, but its political system. He traces the evolution of Roman political institutions, highlighting the importance of checks and balances, the rule of law, and the participation of the people in government. The author also discusses the importance of morality and religion in politics, and the dangers of tyranny and corruption. This book is a valuable resource for students of Roman history and political science, and for anyone interested in the origins of Western political thought.
