Ebook: Histories of the Unexpected: The Romans

At Histories of the Unexpected, we believe that everything has a history - even the most unexpected of subjects - and that everything links together in unexpected ways.

We believe that the history of the itch, the history of crawling, the history of clouds, or of lightning or of zombies or zebras or holes or perfume or rubbish or mustard - all have fascinating histories of their own.


Histories of the Unexpected not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the everyday world around us as never before.
