In this thought-provoking series of essays, she delves into the traditions, adventures, and innovations of the past, introducing larger-than-life figures and revealing the often hidden world of slaves.
From the palace at Knossos to the streets of Alexandria, Beard invites you into the world of the Greeks and Romans, where drama, politics, and everyday life intersect. With her characteristic wit and insight, she brings to life the stories of Alexander the Great, Nero, and Boudicca, among others.
