Very enjoyable glimpse into what could have happened in ancient rome.

Loads of politics, executions, insane rulers and the odd orgy. Everybody interrelated or intermarried - which probably accounts for the insanity! Could be the story of royalty anywhere.

The full cast production was very well done but did get a little confusing in places. Tom Goodman Hill, the voice of Claudius,was suburb.

The dark humour of Robert Graves really brought the past to life. I tasted the fear of life subject to the whims of Caligula, found comfortable in Callpernias faithful arms and cursed the stupidity of Claudius.
