Just Excellent

After reading I Claudius this was a natural. Amazing how a book written over 80 years ago can hold your attention. I think the narrator must take credit for this, one imagines oneself listing to Claudius. Although I can not judge how accurate the story line it is a compelling narrative especially if one has read the preceding work, the character remains constant. The educated historian recording history as he make almost as if he does not see himself as the prime mover of what is happening. It is as if he is simply relating the facts as he understands them.
The characters portrayed seen real except for maybe Herod who appears bigger than life and admired by Claudius for his reckless manner of living, indeed somewhat reminiscent of his brother Germanicus who he also admired.
All in all a great read.
