Totally Chaotic History: Roman Britain Gets Rowdy

Be astounded by unbelievable and hilarious facts as bestselling author Greg Jenner takes us on a riotously fun journey through Roman Britain.

Think history’s just a boring list of facts and dates? Think again! History is hectic, exciting and unpredictable – in fact, it’s absolute CHAOS!

In this book event, the host of the chart-topping podcast You’re Dead to Me brings you this whirlwind tour covering everything you need to know about Roman Britain and show you what it would really have been like to live through hundreds of years of chaotic history, with the opportunity to ask lots of questions.

The illustrator of the book, Rikin Parekh, is also on hand to show you some of his side-splitting drawings from the book.
