I'm about halfway through this book and love it. It's a witty and entertaining (is there any other way to write about ancient Romans) description of the Julio-Claudia dynasty that ruled as emperors for so long. At times it almost reads like fiction. If you like ancient history, or really any HBO show I would recommend checking this out.

Jdw.weeks Did you ever read Roma, by Steven Saylor? It sounds like this one would fit in nicely with that one on your bookshelf. 8y
