The Sons of Caesar by Philip Matyszak

The Julio-Claudian saga has a host of other intriguing characters, from Cicero, the last great statesman of the Republic, to Livia, matriarch of the Empire; the passionate Mark Antony and the scheming Sejanus; and Agrippina, mother of Nero and sister of Caligula, who probably murdered her husband and was in turn killed by her son. Set against a background of foreign wars and domestic intrigue, the story of Rome's greatest dynasty is also the story of the birth of an imperial system that shaped the Europe of today.
Dr Philip Matyszak is the author of numerous books on ancient Rome, including Chronicle of the Roman Republic and The Enemies of Rome, both published by Thames & Hudson.
