<p><b>The history of ancient Rome omitting all the boring bits. </b><br><br>Following the success of BBC2 hit <i>Rome</i> on BBC2, no one has looked at the private lives of the Roman Emperors again in the same light. <br><br>Anthony Blond''s scandalous expos¿f the life of the Roman emperors is a must-read for anyone interested in what really went on in ancient Rome. <br><br>Julius Caesar is usually presented as a glorious general when, in fact, he was an arrogant charmer and a swank; Augustus was so self-conscious about his height that he put lifts in his sandals.<br><br>But they were nothing compared with Caligula, Claudius and Nero. Blond''s book is eye-opening in its revelations, and unfailingly entertaining.</p>
