Nero

Read and thoroughly enjoyed Nero by Conn Iggulden. This is the first part of a trilogy of historical fiction about ancient Rome. This first part traces the emperors Tiberius, Caligula and Claudius, ending with the Roman conquest of Britain.

I've read other books by Iggulden many years ago, and it's similar, though much less biographical, to Robert Harris' Cicero trilogy. It also reminded me of Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliffe. I remember listening to it on tapes from the local library many, many years ago.
