Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
In this new series of short books under the Histories of the Unexpected brand, Sam Willis and James Daybell take on some of greatest historical subjects but in an entirely unexpected way.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Traditionally, the Romans have been understood in a straightforward way but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, emperors, the development of civilisation and armies all have a fascinating history? but so too do tattoos, collecting, fattening, recycling, walking, poison, fish, inkwells and wicked stepmothers!
