false <![CDATA[The Twelve Caesars]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1167959891m/29022.jpg 29022 62 Astringent, dramatic, entertaining, Suetonius was the first Latin biographer of any note. "The Twelve Caesars" of Suetonius (born AD 69), covering the Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian, remains one of the richest and most fascinating of all Latin histories. Suetonius gathered much of his information from eye-witnesses, checking his facts carefully and quoting conflicting evidence without bias. But his history is also the most vivid and the raciest account we have of scandalous and amusing incidents in the domestic lives of the first Caesars. Translated by Robert Graves and Revised with an Introduction by Michael Grant. 372997 book 121 The Twelve Caesars total:810|5:8|4:21|3:17|2:4|1:0| 810 3175 1234 91 4 5 false false Sun Aug 05 18:34:14 -0700 2007 Thu Aug 09 14:26:54 -0700 2007 3 2 false false Mon Feb 16 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 08:46:43 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 09:15:11 -0800 2009 1 more...]]> 2 2 false false Tue Nov 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Tue Feb 20 04:52:46 -0800 2007 Tue Feb 20 05:03:59 -0800 2007 The Twelve Caesars is a great resource for anyone looking to get a general understanding of Roman history from Julius Caesar to Domitian (50 B.C.E.-96 C.E.).
