The Roman Empire was built on a complex web of power, corruption, and deception. In "Emperor of Rome", Mary Beard explores the fact and fiction of the rulers who shaped this ancient world, examining the day-to-day realities of their lives and the ways in which their stories have been told. From the grandeur of imperial palaces to the humble lives of those who served them, Beard sheds light on the intricate machinery of the Roman state, revealing the people who made it tick.
