Abstract

The article discusses historian Mary Beard's insights on the Roman Empire, particularly in relation to her upcoming book, "Emperor of Rome: Ruling the Ancient Roman World." Beard reflects on the recent trend of men discussing their fascination with the Roman Empire on TikTok, emphasizing that the ancient culture encompasses more than just militaristic and macho narratives. She highlights the importance of recognizing the roles of slavery and gender fluidity in Roman society, as well as correcting misconceptions about Roman attire and infrastructure. Beard also addresses the enduring interest in figures like Julius Caesar and Augustus, noting their significant impacts on history and culture. [Extracted from the article]
