Caligula
By Simon Turney
Rome 37AD. The emperor is dying. No-one knows how long
he has left. The power struggle has begun.
When the ailing Tiberius thrusts Caligula's family
into the imperial succession in a bid to restore order, he will change the fate
of the empire and create one of history's most infamous tyrants, Caligula.
But was Caligula really a monster?
Forget everything you think you know. Let Livilla,
Caligula's youngest sister and confidante, tell you what really happened. How
her quiet, caring brother became the most powerful man on earth.
And how, with lies, murder and betrayal, Rome was
changed for ever . . .

Congratulations on your new release!
ReplyDeleteYour book sounds intriguing, Simon. I know history is always written by the victors, but even so, I'd thought Caligula's poor reputation was firmly established. I'm looking forward to reading your book showing another aspect of him.
ReplyDeleteNow that is what I call a book. I told my daughter that this is the one I want for Christmas.
