Claudius par Barbara Levick
Dr. Levick displays great knowledge of the subject, but I found the book nearly unreadable.
I have no idea whether or not this book is good when read by someone with a better idea of Ancient Roman history than mine, but I gave up because the further I read the more confused I got.
This biography explores the life and reign of Tiberius, the second Emperor of Rome.
I'm not at all sure who this book is aimed at. It feels the need to gloss words like 'eques' and 'gens', when they first appear but also seems to pre-suppose a quite detailed knowledge of the historical background and events in the life of Tiberius, which form the basis for very dense prosopographical discussion and exploration of such themes as the development of the legal concept of maiestas. Several times I found myself floundering over casual references to persons and events who are only discussed a couple of chapters later. The more the reader already knows about the period, the more they will get out of this book, I am sure.… (plus d'informations)
