The Twelve Caesars is a recently released book that artfully combines history and art to understand the life of the twelve Roman Emperors. The book is written by Mary Beard; an engaging and informative writer who brings the subject to life with vivid descriptions and anecdotes. The author also adds her own insight and commentary to provide additional context to the book. The research is excellent, drawing on a variety of ancient sources, thus giving the reader a balanced view of each emperor. The book is noted for its colourful illustrations, high-quality paper, and first-rate production. The most significant concern was about the packaging by Amazon, which left a fingerprint stain on the cover of the book, and the air bladder that Amazon uses to 'protect' the book had no air in it. The main theme of the book seems unimportant as images of the Caesars are over a century old-fashioned and do not have the relevance today. Overall, the Twelve Caesars is a fun, engrossing, and informative read.
