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.

其實我手上有的上海三聯版,這個版本的譯者不同,還附送原文書,至於我看的商務版,有比較專業的前言跟附註,譯的方式也略略不同。算是各有優劣,有心人可以自行比較,不過商務版要買到已經不容易了,這點是毋庸置疑。 蘇維托尼烏斯的這本《羅馬十二帝王傳》,其實許多史家都對...
评分可能由于作者写书的时代问题,这本书文字的感觉类似于旧约。 总体来说翻译的不错,偶尔有一两个的地方有些奇怪而已, 例如,A是B的父亲的母亲。 这本书最为突出的地方就是写出了帝王的凡人那一面, 这本书里面很客观的会将帝王的功绩罗列出来,然后介绍帝王的凡人一面。在尼...
评分古罗马的魅力是无穷的,苏维托尼乌斯对尼禄、奥古斯都等帝王的生平记录让我们可以窥探古罗马帝王的生活,每一位凯撒都栩栩如生,他们有的残暴、淫乱,有的善良、冷静、野心勃勃,苏维托尼乌斯的记录不是干瘪的,而是将他们活生生的展现在我们面前,古罗马的伟大虽然已经成为历...
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...
