| Summary |
"Roma antica, Vol. 3/3 : Ultimi splendori, decadenza e rovina" by Guglielmo Ferrero and Corrado Barbagallo is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume is part of a comprehensive examination of ancient Rome, focusing on its last splendors, decadence, and eventual ruin. The text delves into the political, military, and social upheavals that characterized the latter years of the Roman Empire, offering insights into notable figures like Galba, Ottone, and Vespasiano. The opening of the book introduces the tumultuous period following the rule of Galba, illustrating his efforts to restore traditional governance after the reign of Nero. Galba's challenges, including rising discontent among his supporters and a precarious relationship with the senatorial class, lead to further chaos highlighted by the military insurrections of Vitellio and Ottone. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the ensuing conflicts, which culminate in the violent power struggles that defined this critical era for Rome. It suggests a complex narrative of political ambition, societal tumult, and the gradual decline of Roman authority, drawing readers into the tumultuous world of ancient Roman history.
