About the book

Robert Graves's I, Claudius presents the history of the early Roman Empire as the supposed autobiography of Claudius, the physically disabled and underestimated member of the imperial family who eventually becomes emperor. Through Claudius's observant narration, the novel depicts the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius and Caligula, revealing a world of assassination, political intrigue, ambition and family rivalry. Graves combines historical research with vivid storytelling to create a compelling portrait of imperial Rome and the dangerous dynasty at its centre.
