Summary |
"A wry cartoonist's bloody romp through Roman history. Being an emperor in ancient Rome was a dangerous business. Most of the nearly 100 emperors from the dawn of the Roman empire to its fall died violently--often the victims of assassination, battle wounds, or gruesome maladies. A sly work of cartoon history, with a touch of Edward Gorey's dark wit, Et Tu, Brute? is an irreverent, illustrated compendium of the deaths of all the Roman emperors"-- Provided by publisher. |
