Viggen Posted May 7, 2014 Report Share Posted May 7, 2014 In that great soap opera we call the Julio-Claudians, a nomination for Best Supporting Actor must surely go to Germanicus. But for what? Some people reading this won't have even heard of him. I must be honest, I'd never really developed an interest. He's there in the background, performing admirably and ultimately failing to survive the murderous politics of the Roman Empire. Even the author of the book himself tells us that Germanicus has gone out of fashion in the modern day... ...read the full review of Germanicus by Lindsay Powell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caius Julius Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've always been a fan of Germanicus. He was the man who retrieved the standards lost in the Teutoburg Forest fiasco....Anyone that can father Caligula has to be interesting in my book. LOL. Thanks for this review. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
