M. Porcius Cato Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Yes, it was based on Cato's strong Hellenezation beliefs. Erich Gruen compares the perception of the upper class to the lower class. Just to clarify something, Hellenization is not about rich and educated people. It is the culture the Greeks created and were embroidered in. What is the title of the book by Gruen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rameses the Great Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Studies in Greek Culture and Roman Policy by Erich S. Gruen. If you want in depth detail as to how to buy it, feel free to give me a personal message. I bought mine in Canada, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere in Ohio. I know that you are very interested in Cato, I think, so I will try to find other books on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julia C Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 At the expense of duty and rectitude, of course. Epicurean habits were the downfall of the Republic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to blame Greek philosophy for beeing the downfall of Rome, it is only fair you credit it for the rise of Rome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
