Historia4.5 out of 5 stars 15
Emperor of Rome is not your usual chronological account of Roman rulers, one after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman (and our own) fantasies about what it was to be Roman, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

The description of the inner workings of the palace, society and rules that surround the emperors.

I've been a fan of Mary Beard ever since I came across one of her documentaries. The way she describes the Roman world is - to my untrained eyes - the most interesting way to learn about it. Although educational, this work is not a slog through the particulars of which emperor did what. Its a refreshing build-up, where you learn about 'why' the empire worked as it did, and what the people thought of themselves and their ruler.
On a personal note, it was the best motivation to get me out on long walks.
