The Lives of the Twelve Caesars is a historical book written by C. Suetonious Tranquillus. This book is a detailed account of the lives of the first twelve Roman emperors, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. The book provides a fascinating insight into the lives of these powerful men, their personalities, their achievements, and their downfalls. The author also includes information on the social and political climate of the time, as well as the customs and traditions of ancient Rome. In addition to the Lives of the Twelve Caesars, this volume also includes the Lives of the Poets. This section of the book provides biographical information on some of the most famous poets of ancient Rome, including Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. The book is written in a clear and concise style, making it accessible to readers of all levels of knowledge. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Roman history, culture, and literature.It is reported that he was immoderately addicted to venery. [For he is said to have had obscene pictures so disposed in a bedchamber lined with mirrors, that, whichever way he looked, lascivious images might present themselves to his view.] [971] He lived for the most part in the retirement of his farm [972], on the confines of the Sabine and Tiburtine territories, and his house is shewn in the neighbourhood of a little wood not far from Tibur. Some Elegies ascribed to him, and a prose Epistle apparently written to commend himself to Mecaenas, have been handed down to us; but I believe that neither of them are genuine works of his; for the Elegies are commonplace, and the Epistle is wanting in perspicuity, a fault which cannot be imputed to his style.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
