Already an acclaimed, bestselling author when his chart-topping podcast The Rest is History made superstars of him and his co-host Dominic Sandbrook, Tom Holland is equally adept at transporting us through time to the fall of Saigon, the battle of Salamis, and even the age of dinosaurs.
Now he brings us closer to the lives of the first twelve Roman emperors. The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world.
Celebrating his new translation for Penguin Classics of Suetonius’s Lives of the Twelve Caesars – one of the most influential works of history ever written – this event will reveal the emperors’ shortfalls, lay bare their sex scandals, and show us their tastes, foibles and eccentricities.
This event is presented by the How To Academy.
