  • Great—Feels like a SPQR companion

    I love Mary Beard and this felt like a fun companion to her SPQR book that really makes the Roman world feel relatable and human. But even if you haven’t read that, anyone interested in the day to day life in the empire will enjoy this. I’m really enjoying it and hope many episodes are made!
