Reviews for Caligula

[Patrice Jacobson · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

It was fine until he started comparing President Trump to Caligula. That was not necessary and was totally the author's opinion not fact.

[Bob Paterson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It's always interesting and important to understand the truth of history. There is also some great trivia here. Being a fan of history, this is a must read
