Tiberius: "Wolfgang! Siegfried! Adelstan! An assassin! Schnell!"
"Coming, all-highest, noblest-born, gift bestowing Chief," the Germans instantly replied.
(I giggle at Tiberius speaking in German even tho it's no giggling matter because this is right before the German guards poke the eyes out of a fisherman with a lobster in his catch. Oh, Tiberius)

"Beer is a a fermented drink made from steeped grain and [the Germans] drink it to extraordinary excess at their feasts." I die at (Robert Graves writing) Claudius helpfully including this note for his ostensibly non German audience

I continue to love everything about Tiberius's horrible but salacious private life. Divulge, Clau-Clau-Claudius, divulge!!!!

This book had thirteen year old me absolutely quaking at lunch time as I desperately read about the salacious Tiberius and his unfulfilled love for Julia (or whatever her name was) and it was just one random paragraph amidst everything. Curious if the magic holds, 15 (!!) years later
