No other source preserves such a coherent account of the extraordinary events of 68, and for 69 Plutarch's \"Lives\" are comparable with Tacitus' \"Histories\". As well as including a translation, this useful companion explains the background, and provides a commentary that makes serious use of the numismatic evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781853994296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bristol Classical Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40607441486030,"sku":"9781853994296","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781853994296","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
