okay so here is the scoop, i'm looking for a book that Tiberius Claudius Nero wrote on "how to play dice (his favourite past time)."
library.thinkquest.org/26907/...ius.htm
Everywhere i look everyone refers to this book but no one says where to find it. Anyone know if this book really exists and where one can find a copy ... i would really love to read this thing.

Re: HELP! - looking for Claudius' book on dice playing
Mon, September 14, 2009 - 12:52 AMFirst off, a word of warning: ancient names are not strait forward. The "Tiberius Claudius Nero [Germanicus]" you want is Emperor Claudius I, not Julius Caesar who's birth name was also "Tiberius Claudius Nero," as I found out through a quick wikipedia search ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiberius#See_also ).
According to wikipedia, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clau...eir_impact , the book you are looking for no longer exists. -
