In a fresh new take on the era, historian Stuart Laycock sums up the Roman Empire in 100 haikus. These original poems are sometimes witty, sometimes sad, sometimes playful, sometime serious, but with only a few syllables to play with they are always concise and always right to the point. Read them for a sense of the vast sweep of Roman history or dip in and out to find hidden gems. Each haiku comes with brief historical text to complement it.
