SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary Beard

5.0

A great introduction to the world of Ancient Rome. There's obviously WAY too much to cover in Roman history to fit in ~500 pages, but Beard does an excellent job of setting up the broad strokes to give you solid overview. Her writing is very digestible for the layman, and she weaves an interesting narrative of the first thousand years of Rome. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an entry point into learning about Ancient Rome.
