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
这本书非常易读，条理也清楚。是我读过有关罗马史的书里，最适合初学者的作品。如果只能读一本有关罗马史的书，那我同样推荐这本。但反过来说，有关罗马史，只读一本书是远远不够的。这本书同样有些可供进一步讨论，或者需要初学者注意的地方。 1、这本书有意识的回避了传统围...
评分罗马史向来有很多种写法，最受大众欢迎的显然是军事史和英雄史，政治史和“法治”史更学究一些，风俗史等等也有不少读者。在众多史著中，Beard的这部作品更显突出，作者在谋篇布局中，将元老院的角色放在了中心舞台上，各色人等鱼贯上下，与元老制产生互动，在互动的过程中，梳...

* Ancient Rome is important.To ignore the Romans is not just to turn a blind eye to the distant past. * I have learnt their language as well as I can. I have read a good deal of the literature they have left us. * I no longer think, as I once naively did, that we have much to learn directly from the Romans… * But I am more and more convinced that …
评分SPQR：元老院与罗马人民。剑桥大学Mary Beard教授讲述了从罗穆卢斯的王国时期到帝国时期的卡拉卡拉敕令之间接近千年的政治史演变。从小白的角度来看，作者对罗马史主流叙事的一些质疑有理有据。
评分从Romulus到Caracalla，国王（酋邦）时代到共和体制，内战后迎接Caesar的时代，最终在罗马公民改革中戛然而止。可读性非常强的专栏历史。皇帝个性的差异只会影响少数精英人群，而与屠戮仅一线之隔的平民生活理应更有历史研究的价值。作者围绕SPQR有意避开连篇累牍的帝王传记，转而展开罗马人民和社会底层的叙述，可惜历史终究是胜利者和统治者书写的，相关的史料只在三四个章节中涵盖，关于元老院本身的描绘也比预期少了很多。
评分Thought-provoking perspective on the history of Rome the city and her people until the Edict of Caracalla.
评分就我个人的口味而言战争方面谈得太少，但真的好看。后面的参考书目很有用，算一个初级的研究引导了。
