Lives of the Twelve Caesars Caius Suetonius Tranquillus

Suetonius wrote his Lives of the Twelve Caesars in the reign of Vespasian around 70 AD. He chronicled the extraordinary careers of Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian and Domitian and the rest in technicolor terms. They presented some highs and lows at the heart of the Roman Empire. The accounts provide us with perspicacious insights into the men as much as their reigns - and it was from Suetonius that subsequent writers such as Robert Graves drew so much of their material.
