Intricate detailing of inside the emperors palaces and places of residence. What these locations represented and what how the interior may reflect the emperors temperament. Interesting information scattered through this chapter on sculpture, art and architecture.

Best chapter yet. Such a good variety of perspectives given from slaves, to mistresses, to doctors and more. The importance of proximity to the emperor and the dark side of politics and influence of the funny/tragic arrangements of Emperors personal relationships.

Chapter 2: The complications around choosing of successors in Rome. Revisionism around emperors ruling bound to the circumstances in which they pass. Lots of talk about Pliny in first 2 chapters.

Incredibly clear and descriptive account of the establishment of Roman autocracy. From the death of Caesar to Augustan rule and legacy. Fascinating facts of the constitutional changes of republic into empire and how the ‘democracy’ functioned. Senators ambiguous powers and the tug of war between senator and emperor.
