The Lives of the Caesars
69-approximatel approximately
The ancient Roman empire was the supreme arena, and to rule as a Caesar was to stand as an actor upon the great stage of the world. No biographies invite us into the lives of the Caesars more vividly or intimately than those by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, written from the centre of Rome and power, in the early 2nd century AD. That Rome lives more vividly in people's imagination than any other ancient empire owes an inordinate amount to Suetonius. Now award-winning author and translator Tom Holland brings us even closer with this translation. Giving a deeper understanding of the personal lives of Rome's first emperors, and of how they swayed the fates of millions, 'The Lives of the Caesars' provides an immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.
