In I, Claudius he watches from the sidelines to record the reigns of its emperors: from the wise Augustus and his villainous wife Livia to the sadistic Tiberius and the insane excesses of Caligula. Written in the form of Claudius' autobiography, this is the first part of Robert Graves's brilliant account of the madness and debauchery of ancient Rome.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith an introduction by Barry Unsworth'An imaginative and hugely readable account of the early decades of the Roman Empire ... racy, inventive, often comic' Daily Telegraph\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43104943734828,"sku":"9780141188591","price":9.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780141188591.jpg?v=1713020242","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.live\/products\/i-claudius","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
