What Was a Roman Emperor’s Daily Life Like? | With Mary Beard

I love hearing Mary Beard - she is so knowledgeable and puts things across in such an enthusiastic and easy to understand manner. No pretensions nor pomposity. Wish she’d been one of my lecturers.

I can never get enough of listening to Mary Beard. My knowledge of ancient Rome has increased exponentially thanks to her.

I could listen to Mary Beard talk about the Romans all day. Thanks HH for presenting this interesting talk.

Simply a BRILLIANT discussion. I’m no expert, but I love history. Mary Beard has made me think about this era of history in new ways. We cannot relate to the average Roman or subject of the Empire in some far-flung region. We forget… There was no television. There was no mass media. Not even newspapers. The change in emperors could have barely registered a blip on the lives of most people. We get to size up our leaders on a daily basis. But ancient citizens of this empire barely knew more than what they saw on coins.

Mary Beard is AMAZING!!!! I just purchased my 1st Mary Beard book. Her fund of knowledge is wide and deep. She's a national treasure.

I absolutely love Mary Beard. She's so passionate when she talks about ancient Rome and I've learned so much. Mary Beard is a treasure.

Having seen Mary Beard's documentaries on the Roman world, her lectures and discussions on YouTube throughout the years, it has been such a pleasure to see her again talking about the Empire and Emperors. It has been too long and it is such a delight to hear again as usual in an in depth discussion about the meaning of Emperor. Bravo!

Do I feel like a history video about Roman emperors? Meh. Do I feel like listening to Mary Beard talk about Roman emperors? ALWAYS.

Always a pleasure, never a chore. Mary's teachings are always eagerly anticipated by myself. Just visited Amaz' and purchased 'Emperor of Rome'. Brilliant deal!!! Thanks Mary and Tristan.

I haven't thought about the Roman Empire all day. Thanks, History Hit.

Mary is fantastic! I love how she articulates and presents history 😍 Thank you 👍

What a great contribution she has made by making ancient Rome accessible to everyone interested.

I found a Mary Beard book at the Dollar Tree, “How We Look”. Amazing look and as a History buff it was a true find! She deserves all the accolades she receives!

Mary is always so interesting to listen to, I’d love to hear more from her on your channel’

Very few broadcasters, immediately draw my attention, but Mary does each time, she never disappoints ❤️

Love Mary! She would be the ultimate tour guide for a tour of Italy.

She is a wonder and a great orator. She makes the mundane unmundane. Her passion comes through and makes you impassioned.

Love Mary Beard. She presents her subject in an easy to understand, approachable way instead of a dry droning lecture. I also appreciate her humor.

Any time I see a video with Mary Beard I watch it more than once. By far one of my VERY favourite historians. We are quite lucky to be able to listen to her speak on Roman History

Mary Beard I LOVE LISTENING TO YOU TALK ABOUT ROME. Alllll day I could. Thank you.
