Caligula: A Biography Hardcover - 2011
by Aloys Winterling; Deborah Lucas Schneider (Translator); Glenn W. Most (Translator)
From the rear cover
"Caligula enjoys a reputation as one of the most brutal and tyrannical Roman emperors. In this accessible narrative of Caligula's life, Winterling uses his deep knowledge of Roman society and the imperial court to investigate why contemporaries chose to assassinate Caligula's reputation as well as his person. Caligula emerges here as rather less insane, if no less loathsome, than his posthumous reputation made him out to be."
--Andrew Wallace-Hadrill, author of Rome's Cultural Revolution
