Beskrivelse
Based on eyewitness accounts and his own unlimited access to the Emperor Hadrians Imperial archives, the scholar Suetonius wrote a sweeping account of the lives of twelve of Romes most powerful emperors. From the empires most shining examples of ruling competency, such as Julius Caesar and Augustus, to the most depraved and doomed rulers, such as Nero, this ancient and colorful biographical work presents a vivid and accessible picture of these historical figures from remote antiquity.
This classic work was translated from the Latin by Robert Graves, renowned classicist, historian, and historical novelist. Combining his extensive expertise in classical history with deft writing skill and an ability to spin a good tale, Graves excellent translation makes this classic work accessible to modern audiences.
