Mary Beard: The Waterstones Interview

Ойын-сауық

In her latest book, eminent historian and author, ⁠Mary Beard⁠, presents a thematic approach to the role of Roman Emperor. What did it mean to be at the head of the empire, what daily work was involved, and what did it mean to have access to his inner circle? We sat down to talk about Roman dining, statues and coins, and why this period of history holds such fascination to people living today.

    Oh, I am very interested anything Mary Beard has to say about ancient Rome. She brings history alive and I wish I had teachers like this.

    Hi Mary! I’ve missed your recent talk at the Barbican because I had a bad cold. Hope to see you and be inspired by you on the next occasion. Thanks for writing another book, will surely enjoy the read. I’m living in London but am originally from Augusta Treverorum and grew up surrounded by Roman history. ❤

    I mean I think it's slightly dismissive to say that the casual interest of so many men in the roman empire is 'some macho fantasy'. The romans are extremely interesting!
