Beskrivelse
Discover the realities behind the reigns of Rome's emperors in this captivating exploration by Mary Beard. From Julius Caesar to Alexander Severus, she delves into what it truly meant to hold power in ancient Rome.
A fresh perspective on the lives and influence of Rome's emperors, challenging common myths and uncovering their real authority.
Following her international bestseller SPQR, which traced a thousand years of Roman history, Mary Beard now focuses on the emperors who shaped the empire. This isn’t a straightforward timeline of rulers like Caligula, Nero, or Marcus Aurelius.
Instead, Emperor of Rome tackles deeper questions: How much power did these emperors really wield? Was the Roman palace truly as violent and treacherous as stories suggest?
By examining these themes, Beard offers a unique take on Roman history that cuts through popular fantasies and reveals the true nature of Roman rule-both then and in how we imagine it today.
