It's 11th century Scotl&. Macbeth Thane of Glamis is one of King Duncan's greatest war captains. Upon returning from a battle with the rebellious Thane of Cawdor Macbeth & Banquo encounter three witches who prophecy that Macbeth will become Thane of Cawdor & then King. They also prophecy that Banquo will become the father of kings. When Lady Macbeth hears this she is determined to push her husband to take fate into his own hands & make himself king by murdering Duncan. Macbeth is reluctant to harm Duncan. But when the King makes arrangements to visit Macbeth's castle the opportunity presents itself. Pressed on by his wife Macbeth kills Duncan & blames the King's drunken attendants who he also kills. However Macbeth is racked with guilt & begins to see apparitions. When the body is discovered Malcolm & Donalbain the King's sons are suspicious of Macbeth & flee for their lives. To everyone else it looks as if the sons have been the chief conspirators & Macbeth is crowned King of Scotl&. Banquo's suspicions grow based on his encounter with the witches & Macbeth is wary of the second prophecy concerning Banquoa's offspring. Macbeth hires assassins to kill Banquo & his son Fleance. Banquo is murdered that night but Fleance escapes. The bloody ghost of Banquo appears to Macbeth at a feast tormenting his already guilty conscience. In addition Macduff once a comrade of Macbeth has fled after the King's sons to England as he also suspects Macbeth. In revenge Macbeth butchers Macduff's entire household. Macduff & the King's sons raise an army in England & march against Macbeth who is given another prophecy by the witches as he prepares for the assault. They tell him his throne is safe until Birnam Wood comes to Dunsinane & he will not die by the hand of any man born of a woman. Macbeth now feels invincible. Lady Macbeth on the other hand has been slowly driven mad by her dreams in the wake of Duncan's murder. She sleepwalks & eventually kills herself. Macbeth learns that many of his lords are deserting & joining Malcolm's army which approaches Dunsinane under cover of boughs which they've cut from the trees of Birnam Wood. Macbeth & Macduff eventually meet on the bloody battlefield. Macbeth laughs derisively relating the witches' prophecy. But Macduff retorts that he was from his mother's womb untimely ripp'd & not (technically) of woman born. The play ends with the death of Macbeth & Malcolm is crowned King of Scotl&."

The death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC threw the Macedonians into confusion; there was no capable heir & no clear successor among the senior figures in Alexanders circle. Initial attempts to preserve the unity of Alexanders conquests gave way to a period of bloody & prolonged warfare. For well over a century the largely mercenary armies of Alexanders successors imposed their influence over the whole of the Near East while absorbing local military practices.

Three wars between the two powers culminated in the Roman victory at Pydna in 168 BC which laid Alexanders empire to rest & established Roman hegemony in the Near East.

Machiavellis New Modes & Orders" is the only full-length interpretive study on Machiavellis controversial & ambiguous work " Discourses on Livy."

Previously out of print Mansfields penetrating study brings to light the hidden thoughts lurking in the details of the " Discourses on Livy" to inform & challenge its readers at every step along the way." ...
