Blood of the Caesars: How the Murder of Germanicus Led to the Fall of Rome - Stephen Dando-Collins [epub]

Germanicus Caesar was Rome’s most dashing hero. The grandson of Mark Antony, nephew and adopted son of Tiberius, brother of Claudius, father of Caligula, and the grandfather of Nero, he was adored by the Roman people. The heir apparent to the Roman throne, general, statesman and good citizen of Rome, he was murdered at the peak of his fame.

He would be mourned for generations, with his birthday, June 23, still being celebrated by the Roman people 200 years after his death. That death started the murderous rot which led to the fall of the Caesars, and changed the course of Roman history. After decades of study of Rome and her legions, Stephen Dando-Collins believes that he has solved the mystery of who murdered Germanicus, and why. See if you agree with him.
