Description
Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, born in the time of Vespasian, passing in the time of Hadrian, writes the quintessential history of the early Roman Emperors. From Caesar to Domitian, Suetonius takes the Divine and reduces them to man, in the process, unclothing the Emperors so that he may hold a mirror to humanity. Suetonius gives often tart biographies of the lives of Caesar, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitellius, Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. This is the Twelve Caesars.
