A moreishly entertaining and richly informative miscellany of facts about Rome and the Roman world.

The answers to these questions can be found in SPQR, a compendium of extraordinary facts and anecdotes about ancient Rome and its Empire. Its 500-odd entries range across every area of Roman life and society, from the Empress Livia''s cure for tonsillitis to the most reliable Roman methods of contraception.
