The emperor Claudius wrote a funny book on playing dice.

I first heard about it in Grave's _Claudius the God_ While I can find
mention of it online, I don't know where to find the actual book.

Are any of you familiar with it? Have any idea what I should search
for in my library or anything?

I remember the BBC serialisation. He'd just come back from the
publishers where his latest book on the history of Carthage was being
prepared; and he was raging angry because they'd drawn elephants all
over it.
