| Modern populism in simple terms is a political ideology that champions the common people against the governing elite. While the term can be traced to pre-modern manifestations, such as the Roman populares, it is questionable whether the Roman example can be considered the fully-fledged populist ideology we see today. Using contemporary sources, this paper develops a concise definition of populism, maintaining that any such definition must refer only to its modern usage so as to avoid anachronisms. The contextual historical situation of the late Roman Republic is presented, so as to understand what had happened there that allowed for popular politics and the populares faction to develop. Deriving key characteristics of populism that are then applied to specific cases of the late Roman Republic’s most popular politicians and political campaigns, an attempt is made to decipher if it is possible to speak of characters such as Tiberius Sempronius Gracchus, Julius Caesar, or Publius Clodius Pulcher as early populists, or as proto or pseudo populists. |
