  The scholars have argued that the Roman Republic's political culture was democratic in nature, stressing the role of the 'sovereign' people and their assemblies. The author challenges this view, warning that this trend threatens to become an orthodoxy, and defending that the republic was a Roman, oligarchic and aristocratic political form.
