Les Douze Césars

Book • 2020
Suetonius's work is characterized by its thematic organization, where each emperor's life is divided into categories such as private life, public life, virtues, and vices.

The book includes detailed accounts of the emperors' physical characteristics, manners, and significant events, often using anecdotal evidence and source criticism.

Suetonius's approach is more biographical than historical, providing vivid portraits of the emperors rather than a comprehensive historical narrative.
