In her international best-seller SPQR, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now, she shines her spotlight on the emperors who ruled the Roman empire, from Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).

Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, one after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained?

Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Another great book from the great Mary Beard. A fascinating look at the emperors of Rome from Augustus to Alexander Severus. The book considers these men through themes in an effort to bring them as fully to life as possible. Some are dealt with in detail, some only mentioned in passing, and some not at all. For the latter, their reigns were too short or achievements too insignificant to bother mentioning.
Thoroughly enjoyable, absorbing, detailed portraits of these emperors told in the inimitable voice of Professor Beard herself on the audio version.

Great stuff
