Beskrivelse
Dive into the world of Ancient Rome's rulers with Mary Beard, as she explores what it truly meant to hold power in the Roman Empire. From Julius Caesar to Alexander Severus, this book uncovers the reality behind the legends.
An insightful exploration of the emperors who shaped the Roman Empire and the nature of their power.
Following her international bestseller SPQR, Mary Beard now turns her attention to the emperors who governed Rome, from Julius Caesar’s assassination in 44 BCE to the death of Alexander Severus in 235 CE. Rather than offering a straightforward, chronological list of rulers-like the infamous Caligula, the notorious Nero, or the wise Marcus Aurelius-Beard delves deeper.
She challenges common perceptions by asking critical questions about the true extent of imperial power and the reality behind the often bloody reputation of the Roman palace. Emperor of Rome confronts the myths and fantasies surrounding Roman rule, presenting a fresh and compelling perspective on Roman history that resonates with both ancient and modern ideas of leadership and authority.
