Krátky popis
Rome as you’ve never seen it before – brazenly unconventional,
badly behaved and ever so feminine. ‘Hugely entertaining and
illuminating’ —Elodie Harper, author of The Wolf DenA WATERSTONES
BEST HISTORY BOOK OF 2023Here’s how the history of the Roman Empire
usually goes…We kick off with Romulus murdering his brother, go on
to Brutus overthrowing Tarquin, bounce through an appallingly
tedious list of battles and generals and consuls, before emerging
into the political stab-fest of the late Republic. After ‘Et tu,
Brute?’, it runs through all the emperors, occasionally nodding to
a wife or mother to show how bad things get when women won’t do as
they’re told, until Constantine invents Christianity only for
Attila the Hun to come and ruin everything.Let’s tear up this
script. The history of Rome and its empire is so much more than
these ‘Important Things’. In this alternative history, Emma Southon
tells another story about the Romans, one that lives through Vestal
Virgins and sex workers, business owners and poets, empresses and
saints.Discover how entrepreneurial sex worker Hispala Faecenia
uncovered a conspiracy of treason, human sacrifice and Bacchic
orgies so wild they would make Donna Tartt blush, becoming one of
Rome’s unlikeliest heroes. Book yourself a table at the House of
Julia Felix and get to know Pompeii’s savviest businesswoman and
restauranteur. Indulge in an array of locally sourced delicacies as
you take in the wonderful view of Mount Vesuvius… what could
possibly go wrong?Join the inimitable Septimia Zenobia, who – after
watching a series of incompetent, psychopathic and incompetently
psychopathic emperors almost destroy the Empire – did what any of
us would do.She declared herself Empress, took over half the Roman
Empire and ran it herself.
