The Life of the Twelve Caesars

"The Life of the Twelve Caesars" is a unique work by the Roman writer and historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, who lived in the 1st-2nd centuries AD. It is a collection of biographies of Roman rulers from Gaius Julius Caesar to... Emperor Domitian. The author provides many interesting facts and details that allow the reader to better understand the era and culture of that time, based on the character of the hero. Suetonius's work offers the reader a unique opportunity to get acquainted with a "living" Rome: to eavesdrop on gossip told in public baths and at aristocratic banquets, to glance at pages of caustic opposition pamphlets, to read excerpts from personal letters, and ultimately to see the rulers of a vanished world power, once stretching from Britain to the Middle East, through the eyes of their biased subjects.
