Nights you don't want to miss
- One Night OnlyThis event is only on for one night!
Tom Holland is a storyteller whose range and erudition seem to be as unbounded as history himself. Already a wildly acclaimed bestselling author when his chart-topping podcast The Rest is History made global superstars of Tom and his co-host Dominic Sandbrook, he is equally adept at transporting us through time to the fall of Saigon, the battle of Salamis, and even the age of dinosaurs.
Now he brings us closer than ever to the lives of the first twelve Roman emperors. The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. To rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world.
Celebrating Tom’s new translation for Penguin Classics of Suetonius’s Lives of the Twelve Caesars – one of the most influential works of history ever written – these live In Conversation events with guest interviewers including George Osborne and Martha Kearney will reveal the emperors’ shortfalls, lay bare their sex scandals, and show us their tastes, foibles and eccentricities in unmatched detail.
Don’t miss this chance to journey back to a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own guided by the greatest public historian at work today.
Tom will be in conversation with George Osborne at the Royal Geographical Society, Martha Kearney at the Grand Opera House, York and another special guest interviewer at Richmond Theatre.
