Strand Notes

Suetonius's "The Twelve Caesars" covers the Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian. It remains one of the richest and most fascinating of all Latin histories. Amodel of biography, its influence extended to the Christian writers and through Einhardt's "Life of Charlemagne" to Petrarch and the Renaissance. The numerous black-and-white illustrations explore such subjects as family and public life, nature and trhe gods, and bring vividly to readers first-century Rome & its Empire. Addenda. 288p.
