Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-09 00:00:00 Lynn Quinlan This is a weird book. I really don't trust its author, the wonderful Suetonius. I strongly suspect him of mocking my attentions as a reader and even of deliberately withholding information, just for the fun of it. He is no historian, the great Ronald Syme doesn't like him much and tells us, with a frown, that he decided e.g. to ignore Tacitus' "Historiae". But what a kind of "decision" was this? - There were also those who supposed that Suetonius got bored with his theme. Got bored, my left foot

Review # 2 was written on 2015-05-03 00:00:00 Michael Gildersleeve Not only a good translation of the later Lives of the Caesars, but also of the Lives of the Poets, Grammarians and Rhetoricians. BTW: Suetonius' Life of Horace makes an interesting introduction to translation exercises on Horace, lots of little tidbits about Horace's relationship with Augustus' court.

Review # 3 was written on 2013-01-14 00:00:00 Paulo Connor If the Caesars of the early empire lived off of the empire's investments, these later versions lived off of the capital.
