Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty & excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths & stories from Romulus & Remus to the Rape of Lucretia still strike a chord with us. Its debates about citizenship, security & the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world`s foremost classicists.
