Tour the Roman Empire at its height with Marcus Sidonius Falx and his amanuensis, Dr Jerry Toner. From the ruins of Troy to the Great Lighthouse of Alexandria, Falx explores the great cultural landmarks of a society that shaped our modern world, while dishing out practical advice on surviving all things travel: from pirates and shipwrecks to bedbugs and lousy food. This first ever guide to the Roman Empire is a completely new and original way of understanding the classics, which will make even the most sedentary reader feel they have experienced life in the Empire first-hand.
