## Description

LIVERIGHT S.P.Q.R: A History of Ancient Rome : Beard, Reader in Classics Mary: desertcart.ae: Books

Review: Enjoyable to Read - All Gud
Review: Fascinating research, very poor story - I started to read this book with a question in mind: "what distinguished the Roman empire from the rest, how did they rise while many others didn't?". On the positive side, the author is clearly super well versed on the topic, and shares an astonishing amount of findings and facts. However, these findings / facts were not presented in an easy to read way. I found the book to be very hard to read as I personally felt there was no coherent story or a natural flow. I also wasn't able to find the answer to my original question. If you read a few hundred books per year and/or are a massive Roman history fan this could make a nice addition, otherwise I'd pass.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***Y on 5 April 2024*

I thoroughly enjoyed it. It shapes a new understanding of what the early days of Rome really were like according to actual records and archeology, not the myths we all heard about (while not discarding it completely). It also shapes a new identity of what it meant to be Roman and the history and reality of regular folks living in those days. If you are interested in the ancient world and already know a thing or two about it, this is a book you will enjoy.
