About The Fall of the Roman Empire: How to Mismanage an Empire
If your only experience of history has been dry lectures and even drier textbooks, it’s time to take a hose to it.
This isn’t your typical history book. Our tour guide isn’t a tweed-wearing scholar with chalk-dusted fingers regurgitating timelines, but a witty historian with a knack for turning complex topics into an entertaining romp through the past.
The Fall of the Roman Empire takes you on a joyride through the grandeur and demise of one of history’s most formidable empires. From gloriously gutsy gladiators to the extraordinarily extra emperors – think toga-wearing, Latin-spouting drama queens – we’ll paint a vivid, often hilariously absurd, picture of Rome’s rise and fall.
But we’re not just here for laughs. As we navigate through Rome’s bedazzled corridors and dark underbellies, we’ll also explore how this crumbling civilization left an indelible mark on our modern world. If history for you has thus far been about as exciting as watching paint dry on a crumbling Roman aqueduct, Volume I of Witty History will deftly guide you through the empire’s roller coaster timeline, crafting an unforgettable cast of characters.
Say goodbye to bland textbooks that read like expired soup cans’ nutrition facts, and step into the wild side of history.

Author Bio:
Meet A. C. Dunne: a self-proclaimed rogue historian, two initials, one alias, and a perfect blend of marital harmony. One half of this dynamic duo was a maritime archaeologist, always knee-deep in dusty chronicles and ancient tales. The other half? Let’s just say an evening with “The Office” reruns was her idea of time well spent. This historian vs. history-skeptic dichotomy triggered an unexpected revelation: What if history could be as amusing and relatable as a sitcom?
With this idea, Dunne set out to transform history from a droning monologue into a captivating story that would get everyone excited, even those who’d rather watch paint dry. Thus, “Witty History” was born. Strolling through its pages, you’ll find history has come alive not as a stern teacher but as a hilarious friend sharing the best anecdotes.
In Dunne’s world, history isn’t just the sum of dates and events. It’s an unfolding saga that we’re all part of, a brilliant sitcom where the punchlines are hundreds of years apart and the characters from the past walk in, sharing a laugh with us. Dunne’s history draws readers in with compelling storytelling and vivid descriptions, abandoning the distant, complex, and overly academic tone that can make history seem inaccessible.
Whether you’re a history novice or you’ve got a Ph.D. in the subject, Dunne’s tales are sure to captivate you. They’ve tailored a mix of historical tales that would make even the staunchest history-phobe chuckle, wince, and say, “Alright, that was actually interesting.” With Dunne, history is more than what happened—it’s about how it’s told. It’s as if history and comedy had a baby, and they named it “Witty History.”
So go ahead and laugh yourself smarter.
