Ursus Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) Hadrian and the Triumph of Rome I'd be interested if anyone has read this, and what their opinion is. This author served a biography on Augustus which was was pretty decent - except for the beginning where he wrote some fanciful piece of fiction about Livia poisoning Augustus' figs. I wonder how he treats Hadrian, and if perhaps he felt compelled to write some fanciful tales surrounding the drowning of Antinous.
