Autographed by the author. From an event at the Barbican Centre earlier this year. 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.
