One of antiquity's great historical resources, this chronicle by an ancient Roman scholar portrays the lives and reigns of Julius Caesar and his 11 immediate successors. Dramatic but objective accounts, told in a straightforward manner, abound in tales of sex, violence, and betrayal.

About the Author

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (c. AD 69–140) served as chief secretary to the Emperor Hadrian. Suetonius' access to the imperial archives and his acquaintances at court, many of whom were eyewitnesses to the historical events he described, contributed to the depth and vividness of his historical writings. The Twelve Caesars remains among the best sources of information about Roman society and its leaders.
