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.

本来以为这部书是严肃正经的历史,结果看完大跌眼镜。作者根本不是在写严肃的历史,而是把罗马帝王当作当红明星,搜集编写他们的各种八卦和黑历史。作者如果放在现代,一定是个顶尖的八卦娱乐报刊记者。 罗马的“帝王”和中国的“帝王”性质差异很大,其实翻译成“凯撒”也许更...
評分罗马之皇帝尤其是迁都君士坦丁堡前的皇帝,和中国历史上传统的皇帝有很大不同。其父死子继的制度由于朱利乌斯凯撒无子并收养屋大维为继子的原因而几乎无法确立。 凯撒凭借自己强大的野心与意志将摇摇欲坠的共和制度一举捏碎,为后世拥军自立者树了个极坏的榜样。 中国皇帝普遍...
評分曾经写过考察材料,某某某同志,德能勤绩廉,最后来点不足。 本书也是这个套路,不过因为年代的关系,难免有出身论的影响,总要写某某某是谁谁谁的儿子,他爸是谁,当过什么级别的干部,他妈的家庭出身阶级成分等等。 一般来说,写优点可以举例子,写缺点一般泛泛而谈,在综...
評分话说,本来三联版看到提比略传中一个明显的错误后就丢下了,这几天认真翻完,觉得还是有点可取之处的~ 商务版,很多注释。不少语句读起来生涩,断裂,不知所云,还河蟹了点内容。另人物译名也是依照较早的译名规范,看着眼生。 三联版,无注释。语句和人物译名更接近现代习惯,...
