Do not try to consume any food or beverage while reading this book. You WILL laugh and it WILL go everywhere, especially when a certain fresco of a wolf appears on the page (iykyk). Sensational - the best way to learn from two incredible podcasters and researchers.

I enjoyed this cheeky look through ancient Roman history. Also, being of a certain age, I enjoyed the jokes. A nice little read which leaves you wanting to know more about the Roman Empire.

A hilarious and informative book on all things Ancient Rome. I know have a lot of digging to do! Piqued my curiosity and made me want to look further into various aspects of Ancient Rome! Loved it

The information's alright. It's too self-consciously cheeky, though and feels forced.

Adorable and funny and great read. A nice change of pace from all the serious roman history book.
