A detailed account of the murder of Gaius and the establishment of Claudius as emperor, as recorded by Josephus, presented here with introduction and commentary.
Classical Review
“A guide to this significant material has long been needed, and this gap has now been filled by Wiseman's admirable book... It should go a long way towards making senior students recognise the historical interest of a chapter of Roman history that they might have tended to regard only as lurid and sensational.” –Classical Review
