THE BLOODY FUNNY HISTORY OF ROME 4 - ART OF LOVE! (466 PHOTOS, MAPS, ILLUSTRATIONS AND CARTOONS). The Rise of the Roman Empire stars Augustus, Antony, Cleopatra, Servilia, Fulvia, Lepidus, Livia, Julia, Julilla, Agrippa, Maecenas, Sextus Pompey, Herod the Great, Hermann the German and Menas the Pirate. Love art by the poets Sappho, Sulpicia, Virgil, Tibullus, Propertius, Horace, Ovid and Priapus. Why did the emperor Augustus exile his daughter, granddaughter and the poet Ovid? It's too funny! "Witty and irreverent, but well-informed, I can well imagine its taking on a cult status with educated readers." W. Jeffrey Tatum, Professor of Classics, Florida State University. "Readers can expect much that is clever in combination with the odd gross moment. You'll quite literally find sex, drugs and rock-n-roll within these pages, but students of Roman history will recognize the depth of Clark's knowledge." Tom Stevenson, Professor of Classics and Ancient History, University of Queensland. "A heady mix of schoolboy history and Pythonesque humor. Seemingly, Clark is able to present every amusing anecdote from the entire Loeb Classical Library." James Grout, Encyclopaedia Romana. "Clark has a knack for bringing the obscure, bizarre, and deliciously titillating corners of Rome into full light. Bloody Funny? Bloody brilliant, I say!" Jeffery B. Knapp, Associate Professor of Humanities and Latin, Tallahassee Community College. "Wonderful! In all seriousness, it's really one of the best books I've read on Roman history. In between laughing your silly head off, you learn too. And I wish I was an Etruscan!" Karen Schrom, Ancient Worlds Net.
