Swords of Rome
(iBooks, 2005)
™ and © iBooks
Stretching from the time of Emperor Claudius, Jean Dufaux and Philippe Delaby have woven a tapestry of intrigue and politics that leads to the time of one of Rome’s most infamous rulers, Nero. Agrippina, wife of Claudius, has a goal of becoming the power behind the throne of Rome and nothing short of seeing her son, Nero, as Emperor will satisfy her, no matter who she has to crush along the way.
With the valuable English translation by Elena Magistro from the French, Dufaux and Delaby’s massive work of text and art is made available and comprehensible for western readers. Trying to understand the complexities of any period of Roman history is daunting enough, but this combination of art and story makes a decent attempt to portray the historical characters as they were… from bloodthirsty to surprisingly caring.
— Ron Black
From the Publisher:
The court of Emperor Claudius is one of great splendor… and deadly unrest. Many powerful factions hate his rule. Conspiracies to get rid of him are the gossip of the court. The most powerful and dangerous conspirator is the Emperor’s wife, Agrippina! A woman of ambition incarnate, she is determined to become the ultimate power behind the throne.
