In the years before the battles broke out, Carthage had risen from a small port community to the Mediterranean region's richest and most powerful city.

Raccolti e allattati da una lupa, macchiati dall'infamia del fratricidio, i due gemelli iniettano nel corpo dell'impero più grandioso della storia la natura doppia delle loro origini divine e bestiali: grazia e violenza, sensualità e ferocia plasmano un popolo di poeti sublimi, guerrieri sanguinari e condottieri rapiti dalla vertigine del potere.

If recent history has taught us anything, it's that sometimes the best guide to leadership is the negative example. But that insight is hardly new. Nearly 2,000 years ago, Suetonius wrote Lives of the Caesars, perhaps the greatest negative leadership book of all time. In How to Be a Bad Emperor, Josiah Osgood provides crisp new translations of Suetonius's briskly paced, darkly comic biographies of the Roman emperors Julius Caesar, Tiberius, Caligula, and Nero. Entertaining and shocking, these ancient anti-role models show how power inflames leaders' worst tendencies.

He murdered, among others, his own mother, his ex-wife, and his stepbrother. He was additionally a rapist, a child molester, and a brutal abuser.
