A review by andclay
Naked Statues, Fat Gladiators, and War Elephants: Frequently Asked Questions about the Ancient Greeks and Romans by Garrett Ryan

funny informative lighthearted fast-paced

4.0

I definitely enjoyed this book. Each chapter was succinct, interesting, and written in a very approachable and informative style. Despite each chapter reading very quickly, it took me a while to get through this book— for me, once I had read two or so chapters in a single sitting, I could feel myself start to glaze over at the historical names. So I would recommend reading this in single chapter bursts. I especially liked the (very abbreviated) history of the Classical World, which I think is worth picking up the book for in of itself.
