About the book: 2024 / Endless wars, conspiracies, rebellions, coups, brutal torture and executions; love affairs, debauchery - all this was an integral part of the life of Ancient Rome. It was especially violent under the first emperors (Caesars), when even the seasoned Roman inhabitants were horrified and amazed. Cassius Dion, the Roman consul and historian, was one of those who described this life in every detail. The heroes of his book - Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero are shown as they really were. The author did not have to invent anything: historical facts surpass the wildest fantasies.
