Emperor of Rome by Mary Beard is a fascinating exploration of what it meant to be a Roman emperor. Rather than a list of rulers, Beard offers a behind-the-scenes look at the rituals, politics, and daily realities of imperial power. Engaging, witty, and deeply researched, it’s a fresh take on Roman history from one of the UK’s leading classicists. Obtained two signed copies when seeing Mary Beard being interviewed at the Barbican Centre, London 2025, hence selling one copy here. In perfect condition.
