Populus by Guy De La Bédoyère
A Time Travellers Guide to Ancient Rome - by one of the best historians of the ancient world
A superb combination of wit, first-rate research and panacheHighly recommended! * Tony Robinson *
[A] rollicking new book... Drawing on letters, inscriptions, plays, poems, architecture, coinage and the preserved contents of Herculaneum's sewers, de la Bédoyère sets out to reconstruct how people of all stations lived... De la Bédoyère's command of these disparate sources is masterful, and his curation of them forms the backbone of the book -- Honor Cargill-Martin * Sunday Telegraph *

Guy de la Bédoyère has written extensively on the ancient world over the last thirty years, most recently Gladius: Living, Fighting and Dying in the Roman Army (which was described by the Sunday Times as 'highly enjoyable') and Pharaohs of the Sun: How Egypt's Despots and Dreamers drove the Rise and Fall of Tutankhamun's Dynasty.
