Ten Caesars: Roman Emperors from Augustus to Constantine
by

James Balseiro's review

Sep 08, 2024

it was ok

Author was annoying and gave his opinion too much. Author went into a ton of detail about the earlier emperors but by the end it was like a quick summary of the emperors. Could’ve just read the wiki for the 10 emperors instead smh.
