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.

恺撒(Caesar)是罗马共和国末期的军事家、政治家。他的主要生平事迹,在普鲁塔克(Plutarchus)的《希腊罗马名人传》和苏维托尼乌斯(Suetonius)的《罗马十二帝王传》中均有记载。不过,由于两本传记成书时间不同(大致是《希腊罗马名人传》在先,《罗马十二帝王传》...

评分本来以为这部书是严肃正经的历史,结果看完大跌眼镜。作者根本不是在写严肃的历史,而是把罗马帝王当作当红明星,搜集编写他们的各种八卦和黑历史。作者如果放在现代,一定是个顶尖的八卦娱乐报刊记者。 罗马的“帝王”和中国的“帝王”性质差异很大,其实翻译成“凯撒”也许更...
评分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.
