After publishing her new book Emperor of Rome, who better to discuss this unusual trend than Mary Beard!

The renowned classicist and historian explains why she thinks men are obsessed with this period of ancient history, why the Roman Empire isn't all it's cracked up to be, and why many Romans themselves were critical of imperialism.

An Evening with Mary Beard hosted by David Olusoga was originally broadcast on Sat 23 Sep 2023, live from the Barbican Centre.
