A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (c. 69-after 122 CE) was a Roman historian and biographer best known for De Vita Caesarum (The Lives of the Twelve Caesars). Serving under the emperors Trajan and Hadrian, Suetonius held several important administrative posts within the imperial government, giving him access to official records and documents.His biographies of Julius Caesar and the first eleven Roman emperors remain among the most influential historical works of antiquity. Rather than presenting a strictly chronological political history, Suetonius organized his accounts around the character, habits, and personal conduct of each ruler, combining historical narrative with memorable anecdotes.The Lives of the Twelve Caesars has shaped popular understanding of the early Roman emperors for centuries and continues to be widely read for its vivid portrayal of the personalities who ruled the Roman Empire.
