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.

汉译名著里面著作大多是严肃的,这本不是,颇有现在娱记风格,语言也很有趣.政治,军事,宫闱密事,一个都不能少.至于可信度----如果你不相信它描写的,也没什么别的更权威的可代替.
评分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...
评分公元前58年,盖乌斯•尤利乌斯•恺撒在结束其第一任执政官任期后,按照上任前元老院的约束性要求,他要离开罗马去管理最不重要的行省,即被称为“树林和高山牧场”的行省。通过笼络岳父派索和女婿庞培,再耍些手腕,他如愿以偿地当选了高卢总督。这让元老院的那些想借此打...
评分雅典人是断了入仕道路的知识分子 应该会上论坛装精英发牢骚 罗马人是既得利益的公务员 应该在管理行省税收和粮运之余上黄色论坛瞎搞 在东方,帕提亚人会用互联网搞网上灵堂装神弄鬼顺便骗点会员费 犹太人是一群粪得不能再粪的愤青 随时会下线搞自杀袭击 埃及人是逆来顺受的农...
评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...
