We sit down with Casie Vogel, VP Publisher at Ulysses Press to talk about the process of bringing an ancient Roman history book into the world and some of the cheeky details about the past that Casie learnt along the way.
To celebrate the publication of ‘Your Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire’ this special episode is even in video form!
Join us as we talk about books, publishing, and ancient Rome (of course)!
Your Cheeky Guide to the Roman Empire is out now! We hope you love it as much as we enjoyed writing it. Have a chat to your local independent bookstore about getting a copy or two in or let your library know that you’d love them to keep a copy in their collection.
Libraries are a bastion of hope and a refuge for so many and surely a joy-filled exploration of Rome is just the ticket!
This is what the tome looks like it in all its glory!

The header image includes the highly detailed, but very idealised imagining of ancient Rome at its height by Thomas Cole. This painting dates to 1836 and is part of the series The Course of Empire. This painting in particular is entitled The Consummation. There are vibrant crowds of people on a bridge crossing the Tiber surrounded by white buildings with hints of gold everywhere.
