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...
