{"product_id":"blood-mingled-with-wine-nigel-barnes-9781790120970","title":"Blood Mingled with Wine: The Life of the Emperor Heliogabalus","description":"The Emperor Heliogabalus was described by old historians as the most despicable and depraved of all Emperors, worse even than Nero or Caligula. Nigel Barnes ('A Dream Within A Dream: The Life Of Edgar Allan Poe', Peter Owen) has described the psychology of this enigmatic ruler and, having stripped away the ancient prejudices of the times, produced a biography of the Emperor for the twenty-first century. The clashes between his sexual orientation and new religion with the narrower mores of ancient Rome led to a period described by one historian as 'blood mingled with wine'.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nigel Barnes\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1790120977\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781790120970\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 318\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.71d","brand":"Nigel Barnes","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938814034175,"sku":"9781790120970","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_50d0cf07-8775-4da1-b454-c5f45423b582.jpg?v=1681437860","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-mingled-with-wine-nigel-barnes-9781790120970","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
