Antiquity’s imperial biographer par excellence.

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get the two-volume Loeb edition to get stuff by Suetonius that you don't get in most paperbacks
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2014

Worth pointing out that if you get the Loeb, you also get several biographies by Suetonius (of people other than emperors) that are NOT included in, for instance, the Penguin translation adapted from Robert Graves. In fact, only the first half of Vol. II of the Loeb is taken up with "Lives of the Caesars." I guess you could get Vol. II out of the library and read the remainder, but I guess you could get the whole thing out of the library and read it, for that matter. If you're BUYING a copy of Suetonius, methinks you might just as well get ALL of Suetonius (including a few items that may or may not be by him).

Hic liber bene est. I bought this to complete the set, already having Volume I. I thoroughly enjoy all of the Loeb Classics, referring to them on a regular basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ah, Suetonius....
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2011
Seminal and provocative, this book is surely a must-read for anyone with even a remote interest in our classical heritage. And the Loeb edition is the best, with English and Latin texts side-by-side. Surely a plus for the budding Latin scholar.
