    Book Description

    Seutonius, a Roman historian, was the author of "The Lives of the Caesars". This biography sets the historian's career and his method of dealing with his subject matter in the context of Roman society in the early Empire, and draws a picture of the coherence of Suetonius's life, appointments, scholarship and literary activities. Seutonius is presented as a man of learning, rather than as a failed narrative historian. This portrait takes account of recent evidence concerning his life and seeks to clarify the character of "The Lives of the Caesars" as a description of emperors and Roman imperial society by a scholarly biographer who himself was in the service of a scholarly Caesar - the Emperor Hadrian.

    5 out of 5 stars Caesar revisited .......2007-02-17

    What can I say? I was impressed. Suetonius was a Hadrian historian with an eye to the scandalous. Throughout his writing, he paints a consise history while insinuating certain rumors via the elusive ablative absolute. He is the source of many famous stories such as Nero singing as Rome burns in his Life of Divus Nero or Caesar's final words to Brutus in Divus Julius: "kai soi teknon;". Butler and Cary's commentary in this volume offers great historical background. If you want grammatical help though, you should seek out the Westcott commentary. Overall though, I have enjoyed this account of the first Caesar's life greatly. Vini Vidi Vici!
