| Notes: | In old age, lame, stammering Claudius, once a major embarrassment to the Imperial family and now himself Emperor of Rome, writes an eyewitness account of the reign of the first four Caesars: the noble Augustus and his cunning wife Livia; the reptilian Tiberius; the monstrous Caligula; and finally old Claudius himself and his wife Messalina COMMENTS — Graves wrote a sequel, Claudius the God. He also wrote a riveting memoir of his experiences in the trenches during WWI, Good-bye to All That. |
