Synopsis

Stories of the key players of the Ancient World flesh out history, making the past accessible to anyone interested. Ferrero breathes life into Cleopatra, Nero, and Tiberius while entertaining thoughts on corruption, wine, and social development. The unique aspect of Characters and Events of Roman History is that it not only successfully draws the reader into the past but also explains how the Ancient World is relevant to the early twentieth century in which Ferrero compiled these lectures.
