“All roads lead from Rome in the Western imagination, and not only reactionaries but radicals too have never ceased replaying scenes from its history—to angle for land reform or imagine slave revolts, or simply to ponder how to live in a republic the endurance of which is never guaranteed.” - Samuel Moyn, author of Humane: How the United States Abandoned Peace and Reinvented War

“In Rome's Long Shadow offers a powerful and engaging account of the Roman Republic and its early modern legacy in Britain, France, and America. Jamie Gianoutsos exposes the hierarchies, prejudices, and oppression that informed and shaped that tradition, while simultaneously celebrating the myriad ways in which the stories of ancient Rome were used by the victims of those hierarchies, prejudices, and oppression to craft narratives of emancipation for themselves.” - Rachel Hammersley, author of Republicanism: An Introduction

“Dynamic and clear-headed, this exposition has cumulative persuasive force and is acutely relevant in the twenty-first century.” - Nigel Smith, author of Andrew Marvell: The Chameleon

“A dazzling achievement from a gifted historian.” - Jonathan Gienapp, author of Against Constitutional Originalism

“In Rome's Long Shadow is a magnificent book in the Roman sense - vast in scale, compelling and elegant in style, thoroughly eloquent, as instructive as it is enjoyable to read, with argumentative punch.” - Richard Whatmore, author of The End of Enlightenment
