This provocative new companion to Conspiracy Narratives in Roman History shows how viewing an array of Latin texts through the lens of conspiracy theory reveals a host of socioeconomic tensions from the Roman Republic through the age of the emperors.

Explores the garden as a locus of transformation and transgression in the "De Re Rustica" of Columella, the "Satires" of Horace, the "Annals" of Tacitus, and the "Confessions" of Saint Augustine. This book considers images of gardens from a kaleidoscope of genres, those that the Romans made their own: satire, annalistic history, and autobiography.
