Vuelve Mary Beard con la continuación de SPQR. Una nueva manera de ver el Imperio Romano.

¿Fanáticos del control, adictos al trabajo o adolescentes malcriados? ¿Cómo eran realmente los emperadores de Roma?

En SPQR, Mary Beard narró la historia milenaria de la antigua Roma. En este nuevo libro centra su atención en los emperadores que gobernaron el Imperio romano para darnos una versión matizada y más precisa de estas glorificadas figuras clásicas. Desde Julio César (asesinado en el 44 a.C.) hasta Alejandro Severo (asesinado en el 235 d.C.), pasando por el loco de Calígula, el monstruoso Nerón y el filósofo Marco Aurelio, Mary Beard recorre la vida y los mitos de los grandes gobernantes romanos y nos plantea grandes preguntas: ¿qué poder real ostentaban los emperadores?, ¿quién movía los hilos entre bambalinas?, ¿cómo se gobernaba un imperio tan vasto?, ¿realmente estaban las paredes de palacio tan manchadas de sangre?

Para darnos respuesta y acercarnos un poco más a la realidad imperial, Mary Beard sigue los pasos del emperador de cerca: en su hogar y en las carreras, en sus viajes e, incluso, de camino hacia el cielo; nos presenta a sus esposas y amantes, a sus rivales y esclavos, a los bufones y soldados de la corte y a la gente corriente que le entregaba cartas de súplica. Emperador de Roma nos lleva directamente hasta el corazón de Roma, y de nuestras fantasías sobre lo que era ser romano, a través de un relato como nunca antes se había contado.

«Un relato arrollador del mundo social y político de los emperadores romanos por "la clasicista más famosa del mundo"». --The Guardian

"A vivid way to re-examine what we know, and don't, about life at the top.... Emperor of Rome is a masterly group portrait, an invitation to think skeptically but not contemptuously of a familiar civilization." ―Kyle Harper, Wall Street Journal


A sweeping account of the social and political world of the Roman emperors by "the world's most famous classicist" The Guardian.

In her international bestseller SPQR, Mary Beard told the thousand-year story of ancient Rome, from its slightly shabby Iron Age origins to its reign as the undisputed hegemon of the Mediterranean. Now, drawing on more than thirty years of teaching and writing about Roman history, Beard turns to the emperors who ruled the Roman Empire, beginning with Julius Caesar (assassinated 44 BCE) and taking us through the nearly three centuries―and some thirty emperors―that separate him from the boy-king Alexander Severus (assassinated 235 CE).


Yet Emperor of Rome is not your typical chronological account of Roman rulers, one emperor after another: the mad Caligula, the monster Nero, the philosopher Marcus Aurelius. Instead, Beard asks different, often larger and more probing questions: What power did emperors actually have? Was the Roman palace really so bloodstained? What kind of jokes did Augustus tell? And for that matter, what really happened, for example, between the emperor Hadrian and his beloved Antinous? Effortlessly combining the epic with the quotidian, Beard tracks the emperor down at home, at the races, on his travels, even on his way to heaven.


With its finely nuanced portrayal of sex, class, and politics, Emperor of Rome goes directly to the heart of Roman fantasies (and our own) about what it was to be Roman at its richest, most luxurious, most extreme, most powerful, and most deadly, offering an account of Roman history as it has never been presented before.

Sizing is way wayyy off.
Size: 5T, Color: Beige
I ordered three of these in different sizes for my 5yro&7yro -They’re average to their age sized kids. So ordered size 5 for my 7 yro (I read other reviews on it being big). Everything fit except the pants we’re closer to a size 8 (I ordered a size 5 remember) so disappointed. And a size 4 for my 5yro. The size 4 pants fit my 7yro! But not my 5yro at all. The rest of size 4 outfit was only a little big but not big enough to trade up to the other child. Unfortunately the gigantic pants are beyond the problem. They are definitely running 3 sizes too big. They’re not even something I could fix with my sewing machine. Company says they’ll work with you & send one item “free”but then say their shipping & handling fees are more expensive than the suit. Feels like it’s a ploy. update, the third suit arrived after a month of waiting and its a size 3-well its supposed to be a size 3. The pants are the size of an 8 year old. Im pissed. it's now past the return date, I have 3 suits for $45 each, and I had to rig the pants to fit my 4yro for my wedding. looked like crap obviously bc an 8yro's pants don't fit a 4 yro.. Don't bother buying from this company unless you're buying for an absurdly proportioned person.
