A lucid book about Roman Empire at last
An analysis of the Roman Empire from the auc to ca. 212CE written in a lucid easy to grasp way. Mrs Beard has to be commended for her gem of a book.

Scholarly
The author is a scholar in her writing. But she is no historian.. For example she says A did to B and then B did this to C.. she writes pages on it and then says there is no proof of A doing anything... In In She is too rational..and can't tell a story like a historian... Thanks for a detailed timeline of roman empire ...that was commendable ..

witty and engaging
Brilliant. A great read, and not just a list of emperors or battles from Roman history. Quite witty and empathetic.
