Title: Possibly a joke?
Review: I almost think the authors intended this to be a joke but did not include a disclaimer. Whatever information they didn't get from the 1980's porno, they made up. The Roman people are always referred to as "plebian scum" and when Caligula chooses a human woman to begin his dynasty of incest, his horse is "inconsalable". The emperor's genitals are referred to as his "imperial weapon" and the senators have nothing to do other than choosing a color to paint their new meeting hall or getting "buggered" by Caligula. Even if this is a joke, however, it quickly loses any humor it may have since it begins repeating everything after the first page. (or even the introduction) All in all, save your money...
