i can't tell if it's just claudius or also robert graves who's convinced that livia was the most cartoonishly evil woman of all time and augustus was at heart a good guy. if it's claudius that makes sense. if it's graves that's fucking hilarious. babygirl you know that is not true

the way people rave about this book vs. my urge to DNF because it is unbearable about women. maybe i'll just skip ahead and read the caligula parts

i could take this book as an authentic roman autobiography solely on the basis of how much it hates women

"I have seen [Postumus] walk around the playground with two boys on his shoulders, one on his back and one standing on each of his hands."
what kind of pose would make this possible please i'm trying so hard to envision it. how small are the boys that can stand on one hand

is every writer of roman history/historical fiction required to dunk on lepidus. his only two mentions so far are "Lepidus (a rich but unenergetic nobleman)" and "Lepidus did not count"
