The result is a collection of vivid portraits that not only provide insight into the lives of these historical figures but also offer a glimpse into the culture and society of ancient Rome. This reissue of Suetonius' work is part of Oxford World's Classics series, which aims to make available a wide range of literature from around the globe. With its accurate text, expert introductions, and helpful notes, this edition provides a valuable resource for anyone interested in classical history and biography.
