Produktbeschreibung
Caligula remains the only full length and detailed scholarly analysis in English of this emperor's reign. However, since publication of the original there have been considerable scholarly advances in what we know about this emperor specifically, and also about the general period in which he functioned, while newly discovered inscriptions and major archaeological projects have necessitated a rethinking of many of our earlier conclusions about early imperial history. This new edition constitutes a major revision of the original text. Embodying the latest discoveries and thinking it seeks to make more lucid and comprehensible those aspects of the reign that are particularly daunting to the non-specialist.

Rezensionen
"Barrett first turned his attention to the emperor Gaius Caligula in 1990, with his Caligula: The Corruption of Power. Now, 25 years later, he has produced a thoroughly revised new edition, with the words 'Corruption of Power' emended to 'Abuse of Power.' The change is significant...This is a fine study, well researched and reliable in its conclusions. Summing Up: Highly recommended. " - J. A. S. Evans, emeritus, University of British Columbia, CHOICE Review
