Suetonius (C. Suetonius Tranquillus, born ca. 70 CE), 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’s account of Nero’s death is justly famous.

評分恺撒(Caesar)是罗马共和国末期的军事家、政治家。他的主要生平事迹,在普鲁塔克(Plutarchus)的《希腊罗马名人传》和苏维托尼乌斯(Suetonius)的《罗马十二帝王传》中均有记载。不过,由于两本传记成书时间不同(大致是《希腊罗马名人传》在先,《罗马十二帝王传》...
評分Suetonius是个比较清醒、谨慎的作者,他的作品没有表现出明显的政治倾向性。不过作为原始史料,读起来趣味性倒是没那么强,有点流水账的感觉,有些章节真的是看完就忘,印象最深的是Galba、Otho和Domitianus这三章。 Ser. Sulpicius Galba,初见这个名字,可以知道他出身于罗...
