<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2251405, member: 19463"]My local Library has a sale each Fall where they dispose of donations received that they choose not to put in normal circulation. Last week I bought <b>The Twelve Caesars</b> by Matthew Dennison (for fifty cents - like new). Note this is not Suetonius. It covers the same guys and quotes heavily from Suetonius but also works in information from other authors both ancient and modern and even ties in coins. So far I have only read Caligula (it has been a busy week). The author has been criticized for his big words (this is not a book for the vocabulary challenged) but I see more value in it than problems. Has anyone read it?</p><p><br /></p><p>Since this is non-coin post, I'd like to show my (discussed) Caligula sisters sestertius but I don't have one. Instead you get my Pietas and sacrifice sestertius.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]445580[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
