A Brief History of the Private Lives of the Roman… di Anthony Blond

A good, compact read - an "Imperial primer", if you will. The title "Roman Emperors" is a tad misleading - it does not cover ALL the emperors - but the selection it covers are all colourful and intriguing characters. The byline "with all the boring bits cut out" is very fitting, as the book also covers the daily life, social structures and culinary habits of early Imperial Rome.

Even I, as somewhat of a history buff, had not heard about Julius Caesar's stint as a priest of Jupiter - a post he was assigned to by his uncle by marriage, Marius, in order to keep his military talents in check (and maintain Marius' position of power).

Definitely worth a read if you come across it (and like ancient history).… (altro)

A Brief History of the Private Lives of the Roman… di Antony Blond

Salacious, scandalous, and vulgar: who wouldn't love reading about the private lives of the Emperors? With a nod to Suetonious Blond here collates the other rag sheet atrocities of the private Emperors. It makes for torrid but historically based reading.
