Here is a major new recording and the riveting account of Ancient Rome in all its madness and debauchery.

The politics of empire-building and the hypocrisies, back-stabbings, and corruptions of Rome's first family come to light. First published in 1934, the book retains a marvelously modern and often comic tone, and is written in the form of Claudius' autobiography. This is gripping stuff, read by one of our finest actors, who also starred as Claudius in the classic television series.

An awesome historical soap opera which is still well worth a listen many years after it was first published.

A classic

I love Sir Derek Jacobi, since I saw his performance in I Claudius, as a teenager. So began my love affair with his voice, listening to this book I was transported back to ancient Rome and the dangers and complexities of life there. Robert Graves and Derek Jacobi between them are master storytellers, don't miss out whatever you do.

Almost perfect. My only issue was the music, but I cannot put the performance down as anything less than 5 star thanks to Jacobi.

Thoroughly enjoyed! Jacobi was excellent!
