The Twelve Caesars this rollicking blend of excitementOne of antiquity's great historical resources, this chronicle by an ancient Roman scholar portrays the lives and reigns of Julius Caesar and his immediate successors.

His dramatic narrative, delivered in a straightforward manner, abounds in tales of sex, violence, and betrayal.
