A great historical summary from which I learned a lot about the horrible ages of the Roman Empire and maybe even about the world. Everyone is an asshole! Sadly, the storytelling wasn't what I had hoped for. The storyline was in my opinion kind of flat, without any real peaks or lows. As historical novels go, I much prefer Swedish author Guillou even though he has a tendency to exaggerate the perfection of his heroes. Better that though than the weak-willed Minutus of Waltari. Even though such a hero may be more true to reality, for me he grew kind of boring as the pages went on and on and on and on.
But thought-provoking it was.
