Yet how did all this emerge from what was once an insignificant village in central Italy? In "S.P.Q.R.", world-renowned classicist Mary Beard narrates the unprecedented rise of a civilization that even 2,000 years later still shapes many of our most fundamental assumptions about power, citizenship, responsibility, political violence, empire, luxury & beauty. From the foundational myth of Romulus & Remus to 212 ce (nearly 1,000 years later) when the emperor Caracalla gave Roman citizenship to every free inhabitant of the empire "S.P.Q.R." (the abbreviation of "The Senate and People of Rome") examines not just how we think of ancient Rome but challenges the comfortable historical perspectives that have existed for centuries by exploring how the Romans thought of themselves: how they challenged the idea of imperial rule, how they responded to terrorism & revolution, & how they invented a new idea of citizenship and nation. Opening the book in 63 bce w/ the famous clash between the populist aristocrat Catiline & Cicero, the renowned politician & orator, Beard animates this "terrorist conspiracy," which was aimed at the very heart of the Republic, demonstrating how this singular event would presage the struggle between democracy & autocracy that would come to define much of Rome's subsequent history. Illustrating how a classical democracy yielded to a self-confident & self-critical empire, "S.P.Q.R." reintroduces us, though in a wholly different way, to famous & familiar characters (Hannibal, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Augustus, & Nero, among others) while expanding the historical aperture to include those overlooked in traditional histories: the women, the slaves & ex-slaves, conspirators, & those on the losing side of Rome's glorious conquests. Like the best detectives, Beard sifts fact from fiction, myth & propaganda from historical record, refusing either simple admiration or blanket condemnation. Far from being frozen in marble, Roman history, she shows, is constantly being revised & rewritten as our knowledge expands. Indeed, our perceptions of ancient Rome have changed dramatically over the last 50 years, & "S.P.Q.R.", w/ its nuanced attention to class inequality, democratic struggles, & the lives of entire groups of people omitted from the historical narrative for centuries, promises to shape our view of Roman history for decades to come. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: MARY BEARD, Professor of Classics at Cambridge University & Classics editor of the TLS, is the author of the best-selling "The Fires of Vesuvius". Professor Beard delivered the 6-part A. W. Mellon Lectures in Washington, D.C. in 2011. A frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books, she lectures internationally & lives in Cambridge, England.* SHIPPING: FREE Domestic USPS MEDIA MAIL.…
