Paperback. Etat : Good. Son biografias de doce cesares, desde Julio Cesar hasta Domiciano. Si bien se ha criticado el exceso de anecdotas escabrosas, su ingenuidad y el interes que despierta la vida privada de los cesares han hecho que su obra no haya dejado nunca de interesar tanto a los estudiosos como al gran publico. Todas las vidas empiezan con un primer apartado que habla de sus padres y de sus primeros anos. El segundo apartado, se ocupa de los anos de poder; el tercero, de sus caracteristicas personales y el cuarto, de la muerte del emperador. Mas que describir caracteres o detallar la psicologia de cada uno de los cesares biografiados, Suetonio deja que las anecdotas, tanto personales como relativas al ejercicio del poder, arrojen luz sobre los que fueron los hombres mas poderosos de su tiempo. A veces la vida privada y el gobierno se entremezclan con brutalidad, como cuando en la biografia de Tiberio se cuenta del que fue sucesor de Augusto que su crueldad no conocio freno ni limites cuando supo finalmente que su hijo Druso, a quien creia muerto a consecuencia de una enfermedad provocada por su intemperancia, habia sido envenenado por su esposa Livila y por Sejano.…

Paperback. Etat : Good. Written by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus in 121 AD while he was the personal secretary to emperor Hadrian, The Twelve Caesars is a series of twelve biographies of Roman rulers beginning with Julius Caesar and ending with Domitian. The tales of Rome's emperors are deeply personal and informative, while also entertaining and often filled with drama. Suetonius included invaluable descriptions of the rulers' public and private lives, physical appearances, family heritages, and daily personal habits. The Twelve Caesars is the primary source for many of the most famous and enduring tales of ancient Rome, from Julius Caesar's revenge on the pirates that kidnapped him, to the excesses and scandal of Caligua, to the drama of Nero's rule, and finally to the end of the Flavian empire. The biographies have been viewed since antiquity as a very significant account of the critical era in Roman history known as the Principate period, which begins with the end of Republic, continues through the violent unrest and civil war of Nero's rule, and is followed by the restoration of order afterwards. Fascinating and engrossing, The Twelve Caesars remains one of the most important historical bibliographical works of the Roman Empire. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.…
