Imperial Exits is a viciously vile realization of the untimely ends of some of the great names of imperial Rome, through the witty words of Julius Cicatrix and the scatalogical sketches of Martin Rowson. Here, in all their fading grandeur are Hadrian , Galerius , Maximin Daia , Augustus , Tiberius , and Titus . The only happy ending in this sorry crew was that of Diocletian who reigned for twenty years, put the Roman world to rights, and retired to grow cabbages at his villa by the sea. A hilariously horrid history lesson, Imperial Exits is a must for classical scholars, antiquarians, and lovers of true crime.
