SPQR

a History of Ancient Rome
Aug 13, 2016Logovore rated this title 4 out of 5 stars
My first introduction to Mary Beard was as a presenter of a trio of television programs on Roman history. As an academic, she certainly has the background to deal with this subject, but she is also witty, entertaining and down to earth in her presentation. This is a very accessible take on early Roman history and explores not just the standard story and standard characters, but also looks at the other, newer and/or controversial interpretations of the evidence. I recommend this book.
