Recommended by Heywood Hill manager Tom Nind: Professor Beard is quite rightly one of the most admired dons of our times, and in SPQR she gives us a new and enlightening perspective on life in ancient Rome acorss 1000 years. In this, as always, excellent book Beard not only looks at how the Roman Emipre grew, but also gives us insights on numerous aspects of the daily life of the Senatus Populus que Romanus.
