Jones has an eagles high eye for the history of RomeThe TimesttJones makes the classical world feel both beguiling and freshSunday TimesThe untold story of the real people who built an empireThe plebs were the backbone of Roman civilization. They were the farmers who fed the city, the soldiers who conquered the Mediterranean, and the craftsmen who built the monuments we still admire today.In Plebs Romana, renowned classicist and bestselling author Peter Jones takes us through the twists and turns of Romes turbulent history - from bloody conquests and civil wars to street riots and shocking scandals - to reveal how this disparate, downtrodden underclass evolved into a political force that challenged the ruling elite and transformed the Roman Republic.From debt crises to dinner parties, graffiti to gladiators, slaves to strikes, Jones provides fascinating insights into every aspect of ordinary Roman life. It is an extraordinary and entertaining account that, for the first time, places at the heart of the story Romes working people, who unwittingly helped to lay the foundations of our political system.

The Roman conquest of Britain and the rebellion of Queen Boudicca are some of the most evocative moments in British history. Thousands of years later, the contemporary accounts have been abridged and the stories have taken on a mythological bent but what really happened can still be found.In Queen Boudiccas Battle of Britain, Richard Hunt goes back to the original Roman sources to see what they actually said at the time and, perhaps more crucially, what they didnt say. In doing so, he invites you to look at all the evidence and make your own deductions. With the full benefit of his analysis, you can then piece together the true story of what happened all those years ago. Compellingly written and closely researched, Queen Boudiccas Battle of Britain will appeal to all those interested in early British history, as well as those who just enjoy a good thrilling story.
