Cry havoc and let slip your love for all things Rome! For April 2025, we’ve read Emma Southon’s A Rome of One’s Own (US), otherwise known as A History of Rome in 21 Women (UK). Join Victoria and Katherine as they delve into Southon’s adept handling of difficult sources, meditate on the beauty of female friendship, and convert biography-lovers to the sweeping drama of grand histories!
