Romanez

Hello, I'm starting a new project about Germanicus and was wondering where the best sources of information are about him either online or in book form? I'm interested in all aspects of his life from birth to death. Thanks in advance Steve

I would agree with this. Germanicus was her best hope for power. He was a popular and well loved general. There was to much that could wrong having to wait for one of her children to inherit the throne.

I have enjoyed reading about the legions although i don't think i can judge and the reliability of his information.

I have just finished the Stephen Dando-Collins book on Germanicus and i have to say that i felt a little unsatisfied with his conclusion. I don't see how he can accuse his wife of helping to murder him. Although i did enjoy reading the book i felt as though there were more likely people to have brought about Germanicus' demise.

I wouldn't say the Roman Empire was anymore evil than others. I think we have a substantial amount of data left over from this period and writings which give us more information to dissect.
