A captivating popular history that shines a light on the notorious Julio-Claudian women who forged an empire

Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero - these are the names history associates with the early Roman Empire. Yet, not a single one of these emperors was the blood son of his predecessor. In this captivating history, a prominent scholar of the era documents the Julio-Claudian women whose bloodline, ambition, and ruthlessness made it possible for the emperors' line to continue.

Eminent scholar Guy de la Bedoyere, author of Praetorian, asserts that the women behind the scenes - including Livia, Octavia, and the elder and younger Agrippina - were the true backbone of the dynasty. De la Bedoyere draws on the accounts of ancient Roman historians to revisit a familiar time from a completely fresh vantage point. Anyone who enjoys I, Claudius will be fascinated by this study of dynastic power and gender interplay in ancient Rome.

For a book about women, there seems to be a lack of women, when there is they have zero personality.
it is also frightfully dull, Roman history is far more interesting than this book presents. Not to say it isn't informative, it is but just not about what you would exoect from the title

where's the women?

I really enjoyed going over this well known historical period from an alternative viewpoint. Whilst the narrator has a pleasant voice, he did seem to be reading too fast at times, which made concentration a bit hard.

Fascinating viewpoint, read a bit too fast

It's a good roman history but it's 90% about the men, the woman just happen to be there. Which I guess is true of the resources, but other authors have managed to at least try to focus on the women.

Not really about the Domina

This is an excellent survey of the women behind the emperors of Rome, particularly the Julio-Claudians and Severans. Highly recommended

Brilliant history, brilliantly narrated

You would think this would be a great listen, sadly you would be wrong

one tedious fact connected to,another and their lives slide away under an avalanche of detail..

A book for academics . Ps a tedious robotic performance does not help

Terribly worthy so terribly dull
