After ' Et tu, Brute? ', it runs through all the emperors, occasionally nodding to a wife or mother to show how bad things get when women won't do as they're told, until Constantine invents Christianity only for Attila the Hun to come and ruin everything. \n\n Let's tear up this script. The history of Rome and its empire is so much more than these 'Important Things'. \n\n In this alternative history, Emma Southon tells another story about the Romans, one that lives through Vestal Virgins and sex workers, business owners and poets, empresses and saints. \n\n \n Discover how entrepreneurial sex worker Hispala Faecenia uncovered a conspiracy of treason, human sacrifice and Bacchic orgies so wild they would make Donna Tartt blush, becoming one of Rome's unlikeliest heroes. \n Book yourself a table at the House of Julia Felix and get to know Pompeii's savviest businesswoman and restauranteur. Indulge in an array of locally sourced delicacies as you take in the wonderful view of Mount Vesuvius... what could possibly go wrong? \n Join the inimitable Septimia Zenobia , who - after watching a series of incompetent, psychopathic and incompetently psychopathic emperors almost destroy the Empire - did what any of us would do. She declared herself Empress, took over half the Roman Empire and ran it herself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eEAN:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e9780861548323\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFarbverschnitt:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eGenerell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eErscheinungsjahr:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e04.07.2024\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eProduktform:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eKartoniert\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eAutoren:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eSouthon, Emma\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eThemenüberschrift:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eHISTORY \/ Ancient \/ Rome\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eKeyword:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eSPQR; Jennifer Saint; Mary Beard; You're Dead to Me; Madeline Miller; Song of Achilles; Greg Jenner; feminism; Elodie Harper; Jenni Murray; Great women; Roman Empire; Tom Holland; Women and Power; A history of the world in 21 women; a history of britain in 21 women; ancient history; The Wolf Den; Costanza Casati; Roman history; mythology; greek mythology\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachschema:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eEnglische Bücher \/ Geschichte, Kulturgeschichte, Zeitgeschichte~Frau \/ Geschichte, Kulturgeschichte~Antike (griechisch-römisch) \/ Rom (Staat, Reich)~Römer~Römisches Reich~Rom (Staat, Reich)~Feminismus~Frauenbewegung \/ Feminismus~Altertum~Antike~Archäologie - Archäologe\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eFachkategorie:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eBiografien: historisch, politisch, militärisch~Antike~Europäische Geschichte: Römer~Archäologie einer Periode \/ Region~Geschichte allgemein und Weltgeschichte, Feminismus und feministische Theorie\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eRegion:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eAltes Rom~Rom\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eSeitenanzahl:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eX, 404\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eVerlag:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eOneworld Publications\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eLänge:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e194 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eBreite:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e128 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eHöhe:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e35 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGewicht:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003e362 gr\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr style=\"border: none;\"\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none; width: 30%;\"\u003eGenre:\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border: none;\"\u003eImporte\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Southon, Emma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54882906538310,"sku":"7344854","price":13.51,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0852\/3081\/3510\/files\/B00000002442244.jpg?v=1756987679","url":"https:\/\/www.averdo.com\/en\/products\/southon-emma-a-history-of-the-roman-empire-in-21-women","provider":"Averdo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
