Survive in Time: The Roman Empire (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780241740699)

Dave Rear is a writer and lecturer who has spent his life reading, writing, and talking about history. While he hasn't time-travelled yet, it would be a convenient way to make him vanish. He lives in Tokyo with his wife and two kids, who - by law - are required to read all his books. They also wish he could time-travel.
