I Claudius

I, Claudius/Claudius the God by Robert Graves

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wonderful evocative history with nasty homocidal characters and a central character who seems to have wandered out of Narnia into a fully fledged massacre of his relatives over a series of changes in the Roman Ruling family. Great historical detail, you can almost smell Rome and feel the heat in the streets. One of my favourite history books and one I reread frequently.
