> she keeps saying things like "this list of consuls since the kings can't possibly be right". Ancient people apparently could not maintain a straightforward list, despite the thousands of miles of roads and aqueducts
Did she,in the book, give a reason why the list can't possibly be right?
But I want to know what she might have said in the book, because it was probably close to the paraphrasing. That quote isn't from the book, it's a paraphrasing so looking it up doesn't answer my question, which is why I asked the person who read the book...
