Time Team Forum Friends :: View topic – Wanted: Idiot's (or even Idiots') Guide to the Roman Empire

I’ve just read Lindsey Davis’ “Course of Honour” (Thanks for the nudge, Jean, I’d been meaning to for ages!) and enjoyed it very much. However, I was getting a mite confused by them there Romans’ habit of marrying their step-daughter who was also their nephew’s widow (you know what I mean!).

I was also losing track of who was doing what, where and to whom. I tried going back to the tie-in from the telly series “I, Caesar” which helped a bit, but I’m still muddled, hence this appeal.

Have you guessed who I am yet?
