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

4.0

Incredibly interesting and informative with a sprinkle of laugh-out-loud moments. Southon does a fantastic job of showing parallels between modern society and the ancient Romans, while still thoroughly explaining the most gruesome aspects of their culture and shattering any romanticism we may have of it. Fantastic read for anyone interested in history and/or murder.
