Augusta: The Lost Commentaries of Julia Agrippina
AUGUSTA is a novel by P.B. Mills, read in full. It is presented as the recovered private commentaries of Julia Agrippina — daughter of Germanicus, sister of Caligula, wife of Claudius and mother of Nero. The manuscript does not exist. Tacitus really did read her memoirs, and really did cite them once, and they really are lost. Everything else here is invention.Twenty-seven episodes. A new one each week.
