Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Domina by Guy de la Bédoyère.
“Domina, by Guy de la Bédoyère, reads as a popular-history narrative that shifts attention from emperors to the Julio-Claudian women who operated behind the throne. Vivid portraits and court anecdotes make personalities and relationships easy to picture and remember. The useful part is its storytelling: memorable scenes and character sketches that work well for teaching or public-facing writing. The main limitation is light engagement with technical source detail—readers wanting tightly sourced, footnote-forward argument may feel shortchanged.”
