You may think about the Roman Empire every day, but I bet you rarely think about the plebs. The plebs were the commoners, the general populace and lower social classes, and as such their feelings, thoughts and voices are seldom captured in the sources. Most books about Ancient Rome treat the plebs as irrelevant ‘lowlifes’, which is indeed how they were viewed by the patricians at the centre of the existing popular histories. ‘Plebs Romana’ is a history of Ancient Rome to centre the class of people who made up the empire’s majority. A 700-year story that begins with the founding of the Roman Republic, historian Peter Jones traces the rise of the plebs, from being a powerless group to a political match for the ‘patrician’ elite.

In 1973, King Faisal repeatedly warned America that if it continued its support of Israel, he would cut the global supply of oil. On October 5th, he made good on his threat, and single-handedly sent the world economy into freefall. Hundreds of people lined up at gas stations to collect their weekly rations, while the bright lights of Times Square had blinked out. Congress waved aside years of environmental opposition and scrambled to drill for oil off the coast of Alaska. European leaders sneaked behind one another’s backs to obtain secret supplies, even gatecrashing the Shah’s annual ski trip in a desperate attempt to broker a deal. Through an unimaginable cast of characters – from Gaddafi and playboy princes, to a paranoid Nixon consumed by Watergate and eccentric Texan oil barons – ‘Embargo’ explores the six-month crisis that irrevocably shifted the West’s relationship with its sources of energy, and the distant world that fuelled th
