On the Emperors

On the Emperors of Rome
Book •
"The Lives of the Caesars", also known as "The Twelve Caesars," is a series of biographies of twelve Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian, written by Suetonius.

This work provides insights into the personal lives, habits, and physical appearances of these emperors.

Suetonius's approach is more anecdotal than strictly historical, filled with gossip and scandal.

Despite its sensational nature, the book is a valuable source of information about the Roman emperors, reflecting the culture and concerns of the time.

It remains one of the key ancient sources for understanding the Roman Empire and the men who led it.
