Description
The Lives of the Caesars is a historical book written by Suetonius, a Roman historian, in the early second century AD. The book chronicles the lives of the twelve Caesars who ruled the Roman Empire from Julius Caesar to Domitian. Suetonius provides a detailed account of each emperor's life, including their family background, political career, military conquests, personal habits, and ultimate downfall. He also includes anecdotes and gossip about the emperors, providing a colorful and often scandalous glimpse into their private lives. The book is divided into twelve sections, each devoted to a different emperor. Suetonius begins with Julius Caesar, who he portrays as a brilliant military strategist and charismatic leader. He then moves on to Augustus, who he depicts as a shrewd politician who transformed the Roman Republic into an empire. Other emperors covered in the book include Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, and Vespasian. Suetonius portrays these emperors as flawed and often cruel individuals, who were responsible for some of the most brutal and infamous acts in Roman history. Overall, The Lives of the Caesars is a fascinating and insightful look at the Roman Empire during its most powerful and tumultuous period. It provides a glimpse into the lives of some of history's most notorious figures and offers a unique perspective on the rise and fall of one of the world's greatest empires.The complete lives, in order.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
