Description

The Twelve Caesars by Suetonius is a comprehensive and insightful biography of the Roman emperors from Julius Caesar to Domitian. Drawing on eyewitness accounts and his own experiences as personal secretary to Emperor Trajan, Suetonius offers a unique and often humorous portrayal of absolute power. Through his writings, Suetonius reveals the complexities and contradictions of the Roman imperial system, where power can be both a source of great happiness and a corrupting influence. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of these powerful leaders, including their personal quirks and flaws, as well as their achievements and accomplishments. First published in 2014, this Benediction Classics edition brings Suetonius's work to a new generation of readers, offering a fresh perspective on one of history's most enduring and influential figures.
