{"product_id":"9781786497734","title":"Histories of the Unexpected: The Romans","description":"\u003cp\u003eHistories of the Unexpected not only presents a new way of thinking about the past, but also reveals the world around us as never before. Traditionally, the Romans have been understood in a straightforward way but the period really comes alive if you take an unexpected approach to its history. Yes, emperors, the development of civilisation and armies all have a fascinating history... but so too do tattoos, collecting, fattening, recycling, walking, poison, fish, inkwells and wicked stepmothers! Each of these subjects is equally fascinating in its own right, and each sheds new light on the traditional subjects and themes that we think we know so well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Sam+Willis\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eSam Willis\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+James+Daybell\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eJames Daybell\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Series:+Histories+of+the+Unexpected\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eSeries: Histories of the Unexpected\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Sam Willis,James Daybell,Series: Histories of the Unexpected","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47377633804451,"sku":"9781786497734","price":255.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781786497734_82cd56fc-b85d-45a4-8c0c-397d9bdccc27.jpg?v=1776591657","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781786497734","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
