Beschreibung
In 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: it goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman. An account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.
