Caligula, Claudius and Nero, and the civil wars of the 'year of four
emperors'. Assuming no knowledge of Latin the author draws on material including
inscriptions and coins and literary history to present a coherent account of the often
erratic actions of these emperors.

'The dark, unrelenting Tiberius, the furious Caligula, the feeble Claudius, the profligate and cruel Nero.are condemned to everlasting Infamy', wrote Gibbon. This 'infamy' has inspired the work of historians and novelists from Roman times to the present.

This book summarises political events during the reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero, and the civil wars of the 'year of four emperors'. It considers too the extent to which social factors influenced the imperial household.
