Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Epigraphic Commentary on Suetonius's Life of Gaius Caligula It is hoped that this dissertation will prove to be of some value both from the epigraphic and from the historical point of view, and that it will help to demonstrate the value of epigraphy to the student of ancient history, which is constantly being cor roborated, corrected, and supplemented by the discovery of inscriptions in various parts of the ancient world. Perhaps the most striking example of this to be found in this dissertation is the recently discovered fragment of the Fasti of Ostia, which gives us at least two facts hitherto unknown, viz: the date of Antonia's death, and the names of the two consuls who succeeded Caligula and Claudius in 37 A. D., besides throwing light on the circumstances attending the funeral of Tiberius and the entry of Caligula into Rome. Although it has been my intention to make as complete a collection as possible of the inscriptions, there are undoubtedly some omissions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Epigraphic Commentary on Suetonius's Life of Tiberius The purpose of this thesis is to collect such inscriptions as may either confirm or refute the statements of Suetonius in his Life of Tiberius, and such as may prove of general interest in rela tion to that work. So far as actual historical records are con cerned, I find that Suetonius rarely makes a mistake, but the general unfavorable impression that he gives of the attitude of the Roman world'towards Tiberius is not confirmed by inscrip tions. Although some of the epigraphic records that survive proved an unexpected joy, e. G. That of the sheath and sword of Tiberius found at Mainz, on the other hand there was disap pointment in finding no memorials, e. G. Of Tiberius from Rhodes or Capri, and none of Piso from Syria.

Book excerpt: Was the Roman emperor Caligula really the depraved despot of popular legend? In this book -- the first major reassessment of Caligula's life and career in over fifty. years -- Anthony A. Barrett draws on archaeological, numismatic, and literary evidence to evaluate this infamous figure in the context of the system that gave him absolute power.Authoritative ... highly readable. -- Bernard Knox, Atlantic MonthlyAn excellent study of the brief reign of Caligula....Barrett is a highly competent historian and clear writer, and the intrinsic interest of his subject is so great that the tougher kind of reader, as well as the scholar, will study this book with pleasure as well as with instruction. -- Hugh Lloyd-Jones, New York Review of BooksBarrett's Caligula fills a long-standing void in providing a balanced, thoroughly documented, and persuasive assessment of Caligula's life and career. This eminently readable book's value is further enhanced by the illustrations and by an appendix discussing Caligula's statuary and coinage. It will prove a welcome addition to the library of anyone with interests in Roman history and culture. -- Joseph J. Hughes, Classical WorldI do not think that any scholar interested in the Julio-Claudian period or any classics or ancient history library could be without this book. Very well written, it should also be popular with the general public. -- Colin M. Wells

Book excerpt: A new appraisal of the brief, turbulent reign of Gaius Caligula and his achievements as a military strategist. Gaius Caligula reigned for four short years, from 37 to 41 CE, before his infamous tenure came to a violent end. While much has been written about his notorious excesses and court life, relatively little of his military and foreign policy has been seriously studied. This military history of Rome during Caligula’s reign sheds light on that subject. After he grew up in a military camp, Caligula’s years as emperor came in the wake of the great consolidation of Tiberius’ gains in Germany and Pannonia, and in large part made possible the invasions of Gaul and Britain that were undertaken by his uncle and successor, Claudius. His expeditions in Gaul were part of a program of imitation of his storied predecessor, and crowning completion of what had been left undone in the relatively conservative military policy years of Augustus and Tiberius. Caligula: An Unexpected General offers a new appraisal of Caligula as a surprisingly competent military strategist, arguing that his achievements helped to secure Roman military power in Europe for a generation.
