Suetonius (C. Suetonius Tranquillus, born ca. AD 70), son of a military tribune, was at first an advocate and a teacher of rhetoric, but later became the emperor Hadrian’s private secretary, 119–121. He dedicated to C. Septicius Clarus, prefect of the praetorian guard, his Lives of the Caesars. After the dismissal of both men for some breach of court etiquette, Suetonius apparently retired and probably continued his writing. His other works, many known by title, are now lost except for part of the Lives of Illustrious Men (of letters). Friend of Pliny the Younger, Suetonius was a studious and careful collector of facts, so that the extant lives of the emperors (including Julius Caesar the dictator) to Domitian are invaluable. His plan in Lives of the Caesars is the emperor’s family and early years; public and private life; death. We find many anecdotes, much gossip of the imperial court, and various details of character and personal appearance. Suetonius’ account of Nero’s death is justly famous. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Suetonius is in two volumes. Review: And you too ? - Loeb translations are a great way to keep acquainted with Latin as the years pass. Suetonius is a gossipy form of history and quite interesting as a result. This volume addresses the death of Caesar and it is interesting to see how his version and Shakespeare’s version compare. One interesting difference is that Caesar’s famous reply to Brutus was not “et tu brute”, but the Greek “Kiai su technon”. (You too my son?) giving some to say that Brutus was his illegitimate son. Just a thought Review: Love the Loeb books - Hard to find a Latin and English book of Suetonius, this is a good discovery. The translation is a little dated, but will give an English reader a good understanding of the Latin prose. Don't get this thinking there will be many notes, like a standard reader. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #393,463 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #200 in Ancient Rome Biographies #391 in Ancient & Classical Literary Criticism (Books) #625 in Royalty Biographies | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 55 Reviews | ## Images ![Lives of the Caesars, Volume I: the Deified Julius. the Deified Augustus.
