A review by elydy
SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard

medium-paced

4.0

Really, really interesting. Her style is so engaging. She takes a very different approach to parts 1 and 2 of the book, which is somewhat shaped by the evidence available to her, but means that sometimes part 1 feels very "Great Man" focused and part 2 feels like it skips some interesting stuff. But all in all....so good.
