With the same crystalline brilliance that characterizes its classic antecedent,\u003ci\u003e Claudius the God \u003c\/i\u003eevokes the vitality, splendor, and decadence of Imperial Rome at the beginning of its decline. It is not only a superb re-creation of a colorful moment in history but, through the eyes of the bemused and wry emperor, a compelling and ironic account of human nature as well.\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e\"This book, with or without its predecessor, is amusing and illuminating to a high degree.\" —\u003ci\u003eThe New York Times\u003c\/i\u003eROBERT GRAVES\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e(1895–1985) was a poet, novelist, and critic.
