具体描述
Ancient Rome matters. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. It explores not only how Rome grew from an insignificant village in central Italy to a power that controlled territory from Spain to Syria, but also how the Romans thought about themselves and their achievements, and why they are still important to us. Covering 1,000 years of history, and casting fresh light on the basics of Roman culture from slavery to running water, as well as exploring democracy, migration, religious controversy, social mobility and exploitation in the larger context of the empire, this is a definitive history of ancient Rome. SPQR is the Romans' own abbreviation for their state: Senatus Populusque Romanus, 'the Senate and People of Rome'.

读后感
本書自2015年發售以來，一直都在亞馬遜的暢銷榜上蟬聯，分數也都高居不下，令人想不注意也難。我是等到了價格比較親民的平裝版問世了，才捨得下手。Mary Beard這個名字其實在之前我就已經認識，我在Youtube上偶然看了她替BBC拍的紀錄片：“Meet the Romans”就印象深刻。之後我...
评分这是我第一本读完的罗马史作品 这本书的作者是玛丽·比尔德，英国剑桥大学教授，在BBC多部纪录片中出镜，在纪录片《相约古罗马》，能够看到她飘逸的金色长发，行走在罗马的古籍，行走在罗马的大道上，对事迹和内容娓娓道来，就好像她刚刚从古罗马回来一般。而《SPQR》就是一部...

评分Thought-provoking perspective on the history of Rome the city and her people until the Edict of Caracalla.
评分5-0.5 很勉强，4.5更合适。名气是这本书最大的拖累，必然失望。可能是最近读到的最不好看的史政类原文。 第一本mary beard，感觉文笔不够好，努力往下够以至上下够不着。诚然好书，却不知道写给谁的，显然不适合罗马史第一本，知道一点的又要嫌段子多。观点是有的，而且很有启发性，只是密度低，改薄两百页可能会好看很多。 强烈推荐mary beard BBC罗马前后两套共七集，寓教于乐，精巧炫酷。 再次印证偏见，一般特能说的，写的就不要太抱希望。
评分在史料的选取、批判和解读上面相当精当，建立在学术前沿的基础上，又用通俗的语言讲得栩栩如生。
