I, Claudius

This is a long time re-read, having read it at the time of the BBC series. It is troublesome if you want to keep track of the vast array of characters mentioned by Claudius, but if, after a cursory look at the many genealogical trees on the web, you just abandon hope of making sense of all the details it is simply very instructive recreation of a fascinating historical period. What I do not know is if, Graves' interpretation has stood the test of time.
