Suetonius is equally moralising, but in a less sophisticated way. He is simultaneously more and less useful to the biographer than Tacitus because, as one of the emperor Hadrian’s freedmen, he had access to an awful lot of letters and documents and liked to show that off.
It's so important to look critical at your sources of history from antiquity. Suetonius had a 'fun' gossipy style though!!
