German description: Die Nobilitat der ,klassischen' Republik war die besondere, spezifisch romisch-republikanische Variante einer ,politischen Klasse', die sich erst im Laufe des 4. Jh. v. Chr. in einem hochst komplexen historischen Prozess herausgebildet hat. Dieser Prozess, seine Stadien und das Geflecht der inneren und ausseren Impulse, die ihn vorantrieben, die strukturellen sozialen, institutionellen und auch kulturellen Voraussetzungen und nicht zuletzt ihre spezifische Interdependenz und gegenseitige Bedingtheit sind das Thema dieser Studie.Die Neuauflage ist um einen einleitenden Essay uber Themen und Tendenzen der jungeren Forschung sowie einen Anhang mit Addenda 1986-2011 erweitert worden. xxxiii, 344p (Franz Steiner Verlag 2011)
