Lines: 10 Two historical novels that I recommend highly are I, Claudius and Claudius the King both by Robert Graves. The BBC series I, Claudius was roughly based on these two books. They had to cut a bit out of the books for the series. The books are great--a lot of intrigue, backstabbing and the like. It's kind of like a soap opera set in Imperial Rome. They're lots of fun to read. Sharon Badian
