reviewed Blood of the Caesars: How the Murder of Germanicus Led to the Fall of Rome on May 31, 2020 Blood of the Caesars: How the Murder of Germanicus Led to the Fall of Rome
This is a lively narrative of the early years of the Roman Empire up to the fall of Nero. The event on which the story hinges, the death of Gemanicus, is shown to have been a major factor in the reigns of Tiberius and his three Julian successors.
The last two chapters offer a surprising pair of suspects for Germanicus's murders. I am not convinced, but I do find the argument feasible. It certainly opens up areas for speculation that I've not encountered in any other history of the era.
