Lisa Magnusson och Martin Wolf om romarriket - Tänker Killar på romarriket mer eller mindre varje dag?
O’Brien: Right. What Rome did is it welcomed other people.
Krugman: At some point they welcomed immigrants to Rome itself. Then they also converted the allies into citizens.
O’Brien: They expanded the citizenship first up and down Italy and then into Gull. So that Rome was not Rome. It was actually a real multi-ethnic polity. But by 50 A.D., it was a huge area with citizenship that expanded all the way from the English Channel down into the Mediterranean.
Krugman: Mary Beard’s book, SPQR, it’s one of my favorite books of all time. She ends it sometime around the early third century, when basically everybody became a citizen, because they just kept on expanding it.

Mary Beard book SPQR
https://www.akademibokhandeln.se/bok/spqr/9781846683817
Mary Beard’s new book, Emperor of Rome, the story of the society that brought us not just Julius Caesar, the first “Caesar”, but also his great nephew Octavian, later Augustus, who turned Rome from a republic into an empire
Ferdinand Mount his book Big Caesars and Little Caesars; an author who once ran Margaret Thatcher’s Downing Street policy unit
The two books are very different: Mount’s learned but also journalistic; Beard’s a beautifully written product of a lifetime of deep scholarly learning.
The Roman empire survived in the west alone for some 500 years

Lisa Magnusson: De som säger att de tänker på romarriket ljuger
Ju äldre jag blir, desto mer ödmjuk blir jag inför skillnaderna mellan män och kvinnor. Dessa skillnader till trots vet jag en sak, och det är att ingen – utom Ida Östenberg, professor i antikens kultur, och en handfull andra specialintresserade – tänker så värst mycket på romarriket.
