SPQR is a new look at Roman history from one of the world's foremost classicists. And its debates about citizenship, security and the rights of the individual still influence our own debates on civil liberty today. Its myths and stories - from Romulus and Remus to the Rape of Lucretia - still strike a chord with us. Its history of empire, conquest, cruelty and excess is something against which we still judge ourselves.
