Solid, but Beard does jump around chronologically a lot to tie related narratives together

I read this pretty much exclusively so that I can answer questions about the Roman Empire when I watch Jeopardy reruns. I could answer zero before and now I can probably answer some, so I’m calling this a success.

A história de Roma é muito interessante; principalmente o período que vai do imperador Júlio César a Adriano. Infelizmente algo no estilo da Mary Beard deixa o livro arrastado.
Os documentários que ela apresenta na BBC são muito melhores e mais dinâmicos do que o livro.
