The historian and author Ronald Syme (The Roman Revolution) viewed the period from Julius Caesar crossing the Rubicon until Augustus Caesar's victory not as two independent civil wars but as a unified Revolution which saw one oligarchy being replaced by another. The French author Henry de Montepelant saw this period as a model for understanding the politics of power.
The study is to use the reference of Ronald Syme and built a intellectual model from this period of Ancient Rome and test it against contemporary politics of power. Is anyone interested in joining this study?
