Mary Beard braque les projecteurs sur les hommes qui ont gouverné l’Empire romain, de Jules César (assassiné en 44 avant notre ère) à Alexandre Sévère (assassiné en 235 de notre ère). Qui étaient réellement les empereurs de Rome ? De cruels maniaques du contrôle, des bourreaux de travail, des adolescents excentriques. Ce livre n’offre pas une galerie chronologique de portraits : Caligula le fou, Néron le monstre, Marc Aurèle le philosophe... L’autrice pose des questions autrement importantes pour une plongée sans pareille dans la Rome impériale : quel pouvoir les empereurs détenaient-ils réellement ?

What does the face of power look like? Who gets commemorated in art and why? And how do we react to statues of politicians we deplore? In this book - against a background of today’s “sculpture wars” - Mary Beard tells the story of how for more than two millennia portraits of the rich, powerful, and famous in the Western world have been shaped by the image of Roman emperors, especially the “Twelve Caesars”, from the ruthless Julius Caesar to the fly-torturing Domitian.

We are all classicists - we come into touch with the classics on a daily basis: in our culture, politics, medicine, architecture, language, and literature. What are the true roots of these influences, however, and how do our interpretations of these aspects of the classics differ from their original reality?

Le innumerevoli testimonianze ci rendono partecipi dell'estrema vitalità e grandezza di un mondo globalizzato e in perpetuo movimento, dove uomini e merci, libri e idee, mode e religioni circolavano liberamente.

Mary Beard no es solo la clasicista más famosa a nivel internacional; es también una feminista comprometida y como tal se manifiesta asiduamente en las redes sociales. En este libro muestra, con ironía y sabiduría, cómo la historia ha tratado a las mujeres y personajes femeninos poderosos. Beard explora los fundamentos culturales de la misoginia, considerando la voz pública de las mujeres, nuestras suposiciones culturales sobre la relación de las mujeres con el poder y cuánto se resisten las mujeres poderosas a ser sometidas a un patrón masculino.

In 1982, at the age of just 23 and halfway through her architecture studies, Elspeth Beard left her family and friends in London and set off on a 35,000-mile solo adventure around the world on her 1974 BMW R60/6. Reeling from a recent breakup and with only limited savings from her pub job, a tent, a few clothes, and some tools, all packed on the back of her bike, she was determined to prove herself. She had ridden bikes since her teens and was well-traveled. But nothing could prepare her for what lay ahead.

It followed every major military victory in ancient Rome: the successful general drove through the streets to the temple of Jupiter on the Capitoline Hill; behind him streamed his raucous soldiers; in front were his prisoners, as well as the booty he'd captured, from enemy ships and precious statues to plants and animals from the conquered territory. Occasionally there was so much on display that the show lasted two or three days. A radical reexamination of this most extraordinary of ancient ceremonies, this book explores the magnificence of the Roman triumph, but also its darker side.
