About This Book
Mary Beard's accessible yet scholarly history of ancient Rome challenges popular myths and interrogates the evidence — coins, graffiti, legal records — to show how Romans thought about power, citizenship, and empire. Rather than a narrative of great men, Beard reconstructs the texture of Roman life across social classes. Shortlisted for the NBCC Award for Nonfiction.
