Traversing more than seven hundred years of Roman history, this book explores how everyday Romans swapped gossip, spread rumors, told jokes, and chanted protests about their emperors—activity that amounted to much more than idle chatter. Caillan Davenport uses ancient evidence, including letters, graffiti, and songs, to reveal how Romans engaged in politics outside the senate house or imperial council. He argues that the idea of the Roman emperor was shaped not only by the political powers granted to him but also by the debate taking place in the streets, churches, taverns, and markets.

Solo una potencia podía interponerse en su destino: la propia Roma. Los años finales de la República estuvieron marcados por las conspiraciones, las guerras civiles y la transgresión de todos los límites legales. La sangre a borbotones de las legiones y de los políticos romanos marcaron los años finales de un sistema político que colapsó antes de evolucionar hacia un imperio que dominaría medio planeta.

Street vendors sold questionable food. Doctors prescribed treatments that would horrify modern medicine. Religious movements collided, clashed, and spread through dusty roads and bustling ports.
