About This Item
Routledge, London/ New York, 2000. Reprint 1st ed.1993. XXVI,334p. Paperback. Nice copy. 'Barrett's biography of Caligula is a scholarly work which guides the reader clearly through difficulties of chronology and topography. References to the ligeterary accounts of Caligula's reign in the works of Dio, Suetonius, Philo and Seneca are supplemented by up-to-ate epigraphic, numismatic and archaeological evidence. (...) The 'lay' reader (...) may be a little bit disappointed by this book. In his pursuit of 'sober academic truth' B. modifies or explains away all the most colourful stories associated with this most colourful of emperors.' (CATHARINE EDWARDS in The Classical Review (New Series), 1991, pp.406-07). From the library of Professor Carl Deroux.

About Scrinium Classical Antiquity
Scrinium stands for a specialized stock of new, secondhand and antiquarian books about Classical Antiquity. The main theme of our books is Classical Antiquity: texts and commentaries, translations, archeology, philosophy, travel, history, mythology, books for young people, philology, law, reception of classical motives in Middle Ages, Renaissance and our own time and neo-Hellenika (conptemporary Greece), and many more subjects. A more modest quantity of our books concerns countries, civilisations and religious movements on the edges of the classical world: e.g. Egypt, Middle East and Early Christianity. New books are partly in stock, partly to be ordered from publishers. We are connected to a large number of publishers and distributors, established both in the Netherlands and abroad.
