It is curious how appropriate some people’s names are. Gallus means cock, and Asinus means donkey, and Asinius Gallus was the most utter little donkey-cock for his boastfulness and stupidity that one could find in a month’s tour of Italy.

Finally giving this one some attention. I am very much here for Claudius’s rambling digressions, pedantry, droll observations, and self-aggrandizement poorly masquerading as humility. These books are all about the voice and the characters - there’s not much of a driving plot other than: he’s the Emperor now and he does stuff.
