Emperor of Rome is a comprehensive account of the social and political world of Roman emperors, spanning over thirty years of teaching and writing. Drawing on her extensive knowledge of Roman history, Beard explores the power and politics of emperors, questioning the narratives of their reigns. The book delves into the lives of emperors, including their wives, lovers, rivals, slaves, court jesters, soldiers, and ordinary people. It challenges the common belief that emperors were orchestrators of extreme brutality and cruelty, introducing readers to the lives of ordinary people who pressed begging letters into their hands. Emperor of Rome offers a nuanced portrayal of Roman history, offering a fresh perspective on the rich, luxurious, extreme, powerful, and deadly aspects of life at the top.
