PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
How much of an influence has ancient Rome had on the United States of today? Actually, the U.S. inherited several major political ideas and structures from Rome. In this lecture, Professor Raubitschek examines the Roman republic's tremendous contributions to U.S. culture, focusing on its legacy in the political realm. He makes the point that in addition to subjugation, Roman imperialism brought roads, systems of commerce and money, and local government to its conquered territories. He shows how the U.S. inherited such concepts as civil rights and human rights, as well as governing structures like the checks and balances between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches.
