A History Of Ancient Rome In 100 Lives by Philip Matyszak & Joanne Berry

In the book A History of Ancient Rome in 100 Lives, one hundred vivid portraits of real-life characters bring to life the highs and lows of Rome's dramatic history. The stories of Roman women are given their due as well from Servilia, Caesar's lover, to Agrippina, the murderous wife of Claudius, Amazonia, the sword-swinging gladiator and Hypatia, philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician. This book is a vibrant portrait of a lost world, revealing the mightiest civilization of antiquity through the eyes of one hundred of its citizens.
