Graves’ two books are historical novels, not works of history. There are invented characters, the conversations are largely imaginary. So, no, not history. In the miniseries, Sejanus bloody stabbing is (sort of) shown, while the real Sejanus was strangled.

Yet the story, the events and the main characters are true to history. Like all good historical fiction.
