A Fatal Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum: Murder in Ancient Rome by Emma Southon

krissymartini's review against another edition

3.5

Interesting enough book. Well-researched, clearly. Liked the structure. The narrator was good. And yet...I kept finding myself zoning out!! 

Those Romans sure did love to murder ppl though!

Emma Southon is forever and always going to be my favourite Roman historian and I’ll take a Gladius to anyone who tells me otherwise.

Clever title, clever cover, cleverly written. This was quite enjoyable and fun to listen to (despite the subject matter)
