The Roman Republic, and the Roman Empire that followed it, were the most important political structures of their time in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East. As the Republic evolved into the Empire, there was a remarkable collection of wonderful writers. Read on to find out about the writers of Rome’s Golden Age!





Republic becomes Empire
Rome rose over the centuries from being a single small community on the edge of the Tiber River in Italy, to controlling territory all around the Mediterranean Sea. It went as far north as Scotland, and as far east as what is now Persia. Rome’s armies were better trained and usually had better generals than the armies they faced, and gradually the Republic expanded. Read the Baby Professor book The Battles of Rome to learn more about what the Roman army did.

















In the second century BC, Rome defeated its great rival Carthage in North Africa, and its rival Corinth in Greece. This brought in a period of relative peace and prosperity. More Romans had time for art, writing, philosophy and other non-military pursuits. In the arts, there was a movement toward writing for pleasure and self- expression: “art for art’s sake”.





At the same time, however, pressure was still growing on the Republic. There were challenges from the east and north. Strong leaders inside the Republic felt the government was too slow and too weak to control Rome’s huge territory well. As Rome moved into a struggle over who would lead it, writers enlisted on various sides to argue for the Republic, for a king, or for some other sort of strong leader.
