Women of the Caesars explores what life was like for ordinary women in ancient Rome, and also details the lives of notable women of the time. With chapters devoted to such women as Livia and Julia; Agrippina; the sisters of Caligula; and Agrippina the Younger, mother of Nero, the book is a lively and revealing history of the women who influenced the rulers of ancient Rome.
