Why is the Roman Empire still important and relevant today? Surely just as “Latin is a dead language, dead as dead can be"….. the same can be said of the Roman Empire? Mary Beard, passionate about Roman history warts and all, takes on the challenge – and makes the case with conviction, enthusiasm and scholarship. No whitewashing, but opinions that make sense – this is history brought to life.
