Suetonius wrote his Lives of the Twelve Caesars in the reign of Vespasian around AD 70. He chronicled the extraordinary careers of Julius, Augustus, Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Vespasian, Domitian, and the rest in technicolor terms. These accounts provide perspicacious insights into the men as much as their reigns—and it was from Suetonius that subsequent writers such as Robert Graves drew so much from their material.
