BOOK REVIEWS of THE BLOODY FUNNY HISTORY OF ROME
"Witty and irreverent, but well-informed. I can well imagine its taking on a cult status with educated readers (especially with university students) fond of a good joke."
W. Jeffrey Tatum, Olivia Nelson Dorman Professor of Classics
The Florida State University, USA
"Readers can expect much that is clever in combination with the odd gross moment. You'll quite literally find sex, drugs and rock'n'roll within these pages, but students of Roman history will recognize the depth of Clark's knowledge."
Tom Stevenson, Professor of Classics and Ancient History
University of Queensland, Australia
"A heady mix of schoolboy history and Pythonesque humor. Seemingly, Clark is able to present every amusing anecdote from the entire Loeb Classical Library."
James Grout, Classicist, Author of Encyclopaedia Romana
University of California, USA
"Clark has a knack for bringing the obscure, bizarre, and deliciously titillating corners of Rome into full light. Bloody Funny? Bloody brilliant, I say!"
Jeffery B. Knapp, Associate Professor of Humanities and Latin
Tallahassee Community College, Florida, USA
"Wonderful! In all seriousness, it's really one of the best books I've read on Roman history. In between laughing your silly head off, you learn too. And I wish I was an Etruscan!"
Karen Schrom, Classicist, Ancient Worlds Net, USA
