Books
Emperor of Rome: a position synonymous with absolute power. But what was life really like for the man who ruled over the ancient world's greatest empire? What did he fear? Who shared his bed? And what did his subjects think of him? From lavish imperial dinner parties to the truth behind the lurid tales of madness and regicide. 'Emperor of Rome' challenges our fantasies about what it was to be the princeps, first among many - offering an account of history as it has never been presented before.
