Mary Beard, on Roman emperors: “autocracy (is) fundamentally a fake, a sham, a distorting mirror.” It “upturns the ‘natural’ order of things and replaces reality with sham, undermining your trust in what you think you see.” #emperorofrome (408)
Brilliant evening listening to @wmarybeard.bsky.social discuss her new book, “Emperor of Rome.” Looking forward to reading it. Chuffed to get my copy signed. #History #Romans #EmperorofRome
I listen to history books and podcasts to help keep me sane. Today listening to Mary Beard’s Emperor of Rome I heard the author say that many of the emperors “thrive[d] on malicious chaos.” Sounds about right.

What can social media tells us about how emperors held on to power in Rome? How many people in ancient Rome really died by being drowned by rose petals?
