Robovlasništvo i diktatura u Rimskoj republici

The book explores how the economic system, based on slavery, influenced political changes in the Roman Republic, especially in the period from the 2nd century BC to the establishment of the Empire. The author argues that economic dependence on slaves caused great social inequalities, which led to internal conflicts, agrarian reforms and the final collapse of the republican system.

Special attention is paid to the role of military dictators, such as Sulla and Caesar, who took advantage of economic and social crises to consolidate power. Zinoviev connects these political changes with the development of class struggle between the plebeians, optimates and populares, as well as with the growing power of the military in political life.

The book provides a Marxist interpretation of the history of the Roman Republic, emphasizing material conditions as key factors in social change.
