A small town which went on to become the capital of the greatest empire of Antiquity, and the cradle of one of the most influential civilisations in history: Rome, the Eternal City. From its mythical foundation to the empire’s twilight years, through the era of the great Caesars, amidst glory, intrigue, assassinations, battles… and a few legendary scandals. The passion comes from the professor, writer and Latin scholar Emilio del Río, who speaks of classical Rome —where beauty is central rather than merely decorative— as if he were living there. His latest book, A Brief History of Ancient Rome, is a fine example of this, as will be seen in the conversation with the writer and journalist Carlos Aganzo.
