About the book

Mary Beard's Emperor of Rome examines the men who ruled the Roman Empire and the political world surrounding them. Rather than presenting emperors simply as a sequence of heroes, tyrants and eccentrics, Beard explores how imperial power actually operated, how rulers interacted with subjects and officials, and how stories about emperors were created. The book offers a fresh look at the realities and myths of Roman leadership.
