Description

As private secretary to the Emporer Hadrian, Suetonius gained get admission to to the imperial archives and used them (in conjunction with sparsely gathered eye-witness accounts ) to provide some of the colourful biographical works in history. “The Twelve Caesars” chronicles the lives of the lads who wielded absolute power over Rome, from the root of the empire under Julius Caesar and Augustus, to the decline into depravity and civil war under Nero, and the recovery and stability that came together with his successors. A masterpiece of anecdote, wry commentary and detailed physical description, this article presents us with a gallery of vividly drawn – and all too human – individuals.
