Summary

Mary Beard: SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome

A comprehensive, masterfully written history of the Roman Empire from the pen of the world's leading expert shows why Rome "remains important to people centuries later" (The Atlantic). In SPQR, which became an instant classic upon publication, Mary Bird presents the history of Rome "with passion and without monotonous technical jargon" and shows how Rome went from "a somewhat unremarkable Iron Age village" to "the undisputed ruler of the Mediterranean" (Wall Street Journal). Critics have hailed this book, which evokes "the big picture and the intimate details that bring the distant past to life" (Economist). Covering nearly a thousand years of history, this "extremely informative and highly readable work" (Dallas Morning News) not only examines the way we think about ancient Rome, but also challenges the established historical views that have held sway for centuries. Subtly drawing attention to classes, the struggle for democracy, and the lives of entire social groups that have been left out of the historical narrative for centuries, SPQR will shape our view of Rome for decades to come.
