| Abstract | "A thrilling exploration of what Romans thought about their emperors, and how rumors and gossip--ranging from new taxes to rulers' sex lives--shaped leadership. Traversing more than seven hundred years of Roman history, this book explores how everyday Romans swapped gossip, spread rumors, told jokes, and chanted protests about their emperors--activity that amounted to much more than idle chatter" -- Dust jacket. |
