Book ID/图书代码： 02351515B78741

English Summary/英文概要： From the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC to the fall of Rome in 476 AD, Dark History of the Roman Emperors presents a wry and witty look at five centuries of Roman mayhem, murder, incest, infanticide, sadism, sexual depravity and madness. Featuring such notorious names as Claudius, Tiberius and Commodus, this book retells all of the most salacious and eye-opening accounts of imperial misdeeds, drawing on many original Roman sources and illustrated with over 200 striking colour and black-and-white images, from portrait busts to Pre-Raphaelite masterpieces.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 从公元前44年凯撒大帝的溘然长逝，到公元476年罗马帝国的衰亡，本书独辟畦径，以独特的视角审视了罗马帝国建立之初的五个世纪以来，所经历的种种匪夷所思的事件：族人之间的互相残杀、离奇的谋杀案、混乱的近亲通婚、惨绝人寰的杀婴案、令人发指的施虐暴行、性堕落等等。作者挖掘了一些历史上“臭名昭著”的罗马君王的背后生活：从克劳狄乌斯一世、提比略一直到康茂德, 查阅了许多有关罗马史的第一手资料并配上了200多张色彩鲜艳和黑白的照片, 无论是栩栩如生的半身人物雕塑像，还是前拉菲尔画派的传世杰作，历数了罗马帝国最不堪入目、令人“大开眼界”的罪行。(Susie)
