Caligula. The Corruption of Power. - BARRETT, A.A.,
The Corruption of Power
KORTE INHOUD
'Barrett's biography of Caligula is a scholarly work which guides the reader clearly through difficulties of chronology and topography. References to the ligeterary accounts of Caligula's reign in the works of Dio, Suetonius, Philo and Seneca are supplemented by up-to-ate epigraphic, numismatic and archaeological evidence. (...) The 'lay' reader (...) may be a little bit disappointed by this book. In his pursuit of 'sober academic truth' B. modifies or explains away all the most colourful stories associated with this most colourful of emperors.' (CATHARINE EDWARDS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1991, pp.406-07). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux.
