Synopsis
The most notorious of the Roman Emperors, Caligula was renowned for his acts of madness, cruelty and deviancy. Award-winning writers, Jeremy Reed and Stephen Barber, join forces to document in full the atrocities of Caligula - and other Emperors - which included marrying his own sister, installing a horse in the Senate, and killing innocent citizens on a whim. 'Divine Carnage' also documents the exploits of other mad Emperors such as Commodus - villian of the Hollywood blockbuster, Gladiator.

Review
An authoritative, highly readable book about Caligula. -- Loaded
Book of the Month: Worth it for the chapter on gladiators, covering the same period as the recent film, which looks like Teletubbies compared with the goring, impaling, inverted crucifixions and hallucinogens the real lot went through. -- Front
Divine Carnage gives an insight into the insane lives of Caligula, Commodus (the chap who didn't get on with Russell Crowe in Gladiator) and the transvestite Heligabalus: prostitutes gives hand-jobs in the amphitheatre, men sleep with their sisters, tigers eat slaves and finally, everybody kills each other. Great stuff. -- FHM
The greatest history of Ceaseral carnage ever written. -- Bizarre
Synopsis
