Über den Alltag der alten Römer ist schon viel geschrieben worden. Aber hatte Roms erster Mann überhaupt so etwas wie einen Alltag? Jörg Fündling begleitet einen Tag im Leben eines römischen Kaisers (zwischen 27 vor und 235 n. Chr.), angefüllt mit alltäglichen und außergewöhlichen Terminen und Ereignissen. Der Tag beginnt mit dem Morgenritual. Fündling beschreibt das Opfer an die Hausgötter und die Frühstücksgewohnheiten, wirft einen Blick auf die wartende kaiserliche Familie und bietet eine allgemeine Skizze des "Biotops" Kaiserpalast.

When Alexander the Great died at the age of 32, his empire stretched from the Adriatic Sea in the west all the way to modern-day India in the east. In an unusual compromise, his two heirs - a mentally damaged half brother, Philip III, and an infant son, Alexander IV, born after his death - were jointly granted the kingship. But six of Alexander's Macedonian generals, spurred by their own thirst for power and the legend that Alexander bequeathed his rule "to the strongest," fought to gain supremacy.

In 480 BC, Xerxes, the King of Persia, led an invasion of mainland Greece. Its success should have been a formality. For 70 years, victory had seemed the birthright of the Persian Empire. In the space of a single generation, they had swept across the Near East, shattering ancient kingdoms, storming famous cities, putting together an empire which stretched from India to the shores of the Aegean. Yet somehow, astonishingly, against the largest expeditionary force ever assembled, the Greeks of the mainland managed to hold out.
