Summary: The Twelve Caesars
Comment: Suetonius recounts the history of the Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, having gathered evidence and checked his facts carefully. His history is one of the most vivid accounts of the amusing incidents in the lives of the first Caesars.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great fun (and educational, too!)
Comment: In addition to containing a great deal of factual information, "The Twelve Caesars" is a HILARIOUS read! This account of the lives of ancient Roman leaders comes with entertaining tales of sexual exploits and murderous rampages. All of the chapters are wonderful, but I enjoyed the stories about Caligula most of all. Also, I have several editions of this book, including a now out of print version that has wonderful illustrations on every page...if you can manage to find that edition, buy it right away!
Rating: 5
Summary: Must have for every personal library
Comment: As such i cannot classify myself as a book critic. I basically rate the book more so on its overall impact and the Twelve Caesars by Suetonius takes a great 9 on 10. To me a good personal library would not be complete without books like the Illiad, Odessey etc. This book falls into that category (must have types!). The importance of it is that Seutonius had access to archives that are long lost and that he writes in a very unbiased and objective manner. Very few historians of antiquity have managed to do that. I have read of tyrants like Caligula and read only negative material. This author however even tends to put his good points forward.
Overall an excellent find.
