THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER '[Mary Beard] has always had the sharpest oči pre telling detail a farebné anecdote' Sunday Times 'Britain's most famous classicist ... at the peak of her powers' The Times 'Extraordinary ... varené tapestry z detailu nakreslený z nárastu neďaleko troch stredísk' Telegraf 'Reigning Queen of Classics' Spektátor What was it really like to rule and be ruled in the Ancient Roman world? V jej international best-seller SPQR, Mary Beard nasleduje thousand-year story of ancient Rome. Now, she shines hier svietidlo na emperors, ktoré sa utiahli do rímskeho empire, z Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) to Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE). Emperor of Rome nie je svojím chronologickým účtom rímskych rulerov, jeden po ďalších: mad Caligula, monster Nero, filozof Marcus Aurelius. Beard asks bigger otázky: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palác really so bloodstained? Emperor of Rome jazdí directly do srdca rímskej (a naša vlastná) fantázie o tom, čo to bolo u Romana, ktoré sa odvoláva na rumunskú históriu as it has never been presented before.
