Die Geschichte Roms für unsere Zeit: Wer hätte gedacht, dass Alte Geschichte so spannend und gegenwärtig sein kann? Unkonventionell, scharfsinnig und zugleich akademisch versiert - dies trifft nicht nur auf die hochrenommierte Althistorikerin und Cambridge-Professorin Mary Beard selbst zu, sondern auch auf ihre neue große Geschichte des Römischen Reichs und seiner Bewohner. Scharfsinnig und lebensnah erzählt Mary Beard die Geschichte eines Weltreichs, lässt uns Kriege, Exzesse, Intrigen miterleben, aber auch den römischen Alltag - vom Ärger in Mietshäusern bis zu Ciceros Scheidung. Sie lässt uns hinter die Legenden und Mythen blicken, hinterfragt sicher Geglaubtes und kommt zu überraschenden Einsichten. So erscheint Rom ganz nah - etwa in seinen Debatten über Integration und Migration - und doch auch faszinierend fern, wenn es beispielsweise um Sklaverei geht. Ein neuer Blick auf das alte Rom. In prächtiger Ausstattung, mit über hundert s/w Abbildungen und umfangreichem farbigem Bildteil.
