Description

The Lives of the Caesars by Suetonius is a comprehensive and engaging biography of the Roman emperors from Julius Caesar to Domitian. Written in the late 1st century AD, this collection of lives offers valuable insights into the personal and public lives of these influential leaders. Suetonius' work is notable for its attention to detail and its inclusion of anecdotes and gossip from the imperial court. The author's goal was to provide a complete picture of each emperor's life, including their family, early years, public service, and death. This approach has resulted in a rich and nuanced portrayal of the Roman emperors. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars is a two-volume set that presents this important work in its original form.
