Step through the portal of individual lives—from Egypt’s reforming pharaohs to a public priestess at Pompeii—and imagine what it was like to live in the ancient world.
Decades of research distilled into personal stories that make despotic empires human.
Description
“Guy de la Bédoyère draws on decades of research to provide a history of the ancient world through a personal selection of key figures. The story of any one of these lives is unique, from Egypt’s reforming pharaoh Horemheb or the public priestess Eumachia at Pompeii. These individuals serve as a portal into the experience of the ancient world in the days of despotic pharaohs and Roman emperors and make it possible for us to try and imagine what their lives were like”–
