Publisher's summary

If your only experience of Roman history has been dry lectures and even drier textbooks, it’s time to take a hose to it.

This isn't your typical Roman history book. Our tour guide isn't a tweed-wearing scholar with chalk-dusted fingers regurgitating the timeline of Ancient Rome, but a witty historian with a knack for turning complex topics into an entertaining romp through the past.

The Fall of the Roman Empire takes you on a joyride through the grandeur and demise of one of history's most formidable empires. From gloriously gutsy Roman gladiators in the colosseum to the extraordinarily extra Roman emperors – think toga-wearing, Latin-spouting drama queens – we'll paint a vivid, often hilariously absurd, picture of Rome's rise and fall.

But we're not just here for laughs. As we navigate through Rome's bedazzled corridors and dark underbellies, we'll also explore how this crumbling ancient civilization left an indelible mark on our modern world. If history for you has thus far been about as exciting as watching paint dry on a crumbling Roman aqueduct, Volume I of Witty History will deftly guide you through the empire's roller coaster timeline, crafting an unforgettable cast of characters.

Say goodbye to bland textbooks that read like expired soup cans' nutrition facts, and step into the wild side of Roman history.
