Edgar Saltus | Akateeminen Kirjakauppa

1892. For his most famous book, Imperial Purple, Saltus, novelist, poet and essayist, drew heavily from the histories of Suetonius and Tacitus to create a portrait of the bloody pageantry of Rome, from the majestic Julius Caesar to the freakish Heliogabalus. Contents: That Woman; Conjectural Rome; Fabulous Fields; The Pursuit of the Impossible; Nero; The House of Flavia; The Poison in the Purple; Faustine; and The Agony.
