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

dark funny informative lighthearted medium-paced

5.0

Absolutely incredible deep dive into murder and all forms of homicide in ancient Rome. Informative without being condescending or boring, Southon does a great job of even making the political nuances of ancient crime entertaining and interesting. An absolute must read for ancient history fans and everyday readers alike, I cannot recommend this book enough!
