Claudia: Daughter of Rome

Antoinette May
2006
0-7528-8660-2

The niece of Aggripina, (mother of Caligula) Claudia is no stranger to intrigue and politics, but as her story takes her from the arms of her family to her husband and her own family, she learns what true sorrow and pain is.

Gifted with the sight, she is tormented by her dreams, and devotes herself to her passions. Her story weaves in and out of accepted history; friends with Mary Magdalene and wife of Pontius Pilate, this is the story of an historical side note, richly fleshed out into an entertaining and absorbing read.

Nice review, but what about Mary Magdalene wife of Jesus as accepted history?
