A History of Ancient Rome

In this fresh and insightful examination, acclaimed classicist Mary Beard traces Rome’s incredible journey from a small village in central Italy to a vast empire stretching from Spain to Syria.

SPQR offers a deep dive into over 1,000 years of Roman history, not just charting the expansion of Roman power, but also exploring how Romans understood their own world  their politics, culture, society and values. Beard examines the lives of emperors, citizens, slaves, and soldiers, while shedding light on critical topics such as democracy, migration, religious conflict, social mobility, civil liberties and the exploitation that underpinned Roman success.
