of
The Mad Emperor: Heliogabalus and the Decadence of Rome:
"Lively, insightful, and fascinating. This is one of my favourite biographies I've read for a while - the author consistently combines a strong understanding of the subject with an ability to understand people. Alongside the story it tells, the book a"

The Mad Emperor: Heliogabalus and the Decadence of Rome:
"Very good book! A master class on how to write public history and a very honest approach to sources, the topic and the historians craft. Maybe the extra honesty took a bit of the flavour I was expecting from the life of Heliogabalus (ok to be frank, "

of
The Mad Emperor: Heliogabalus and the Decadence of Rome:
"While the title of this book is enigmatic, it turns out to be a history of a useless emperor who was good for and accomplished absolutely nothing. However, the author has provided a thorough description of the times, surrounding personalities, circum"

of
The Mad Emperor: Heliogabalus and the Decadence of Rome:
"This book is genuinely a pretty good biography of Elagabalus. It’s a lot more readable than my beloved Martijn Icks’ The Crimes of Elagabalus, and if I was trying to get non-classicists interested in my favourite emperor this is probably the book I’d"

“Maximus was cleaning his blade on the dead man’s wolfskin. ‘You promised him his life,’ the Greek said. ‘No, I said death was his last worry.’ Maximus swung up on to Pale Horse. ‘Is that not so for all of us?”

“Nie rozumiesz. Każda religia, która nakazuje wyznawcom kochać odległego, zapewne wymyślonego boga bardziej od tych, których powinni kochać, rodziny, przyjaciół, a przede wszystkim dzieci, jest okrutna i nieludzka. Więc jak widzisz, nie sądzę, żebym należał do ludzi, których można nawrócić na wiarę w waszego ukrzyżowanego boga.”

“I take it you do not agree with your countrymen’s religious practices.’
‘Oh no,’ said Hippothous. ‘I am not Cilician by birth. Mine has been a long and tragic path. I was born in Perinthus, the noble city close by Byzantium. My father was on the Boule. When I was young, I fell desperately in love. Hyperanthes was nearly my age. Stripped for wrestling in the gymnasium, he was like a god. And his eyes – no sidelong glances or fearsome looks, no trace of villainy or dissembling.’
As they ate, Hippothous told them a tale of love, lust, subterfuge, murder, flight, shipwreck, loss and exile – a tale worthy of a Greek romance.
‘Probably from a fucking Greek romance,’ muttered Calgacus.”
