Books Mentioned
“Petronius is kind of novel. People aren't quite sure what it is, but it's a kind of prose account of people who are not of the senatorial class. And it gives you an insight into what life would be like for them.”

“Suetonius who describes, one of the sentences with which he describes what Tiberius is getting up to on Capri, I think, is the single most shocking sentence in the whole of ancient literature.”
