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.

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...
評分司马迁的《史记》是中国古代历史书里,写的最人性的。但是跟古罗马的历史学家著作比较起来,还是有差距。
評分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...
