The ancient Roman empire – the supreme arena, where emperors had no choice but to fight, to thrill, to dazzle. Tom Holland’s masterful new translation of Suetonius’ The Twelve Caesars brings the first Roman emperors to life with stunning detail. Written in AD 121, Suetonius offers an intimate, vivid portrayal of each Caesar, revealing their personalities, policies, scandals, and eccentricities. From foreign crises to sex scandals, we gain a unique insight into their reigns, seeing their world through the lens of their tastes, relationships, and ambitions. This compelling biography remains a timeless exploration of power, intrigue, and human nature.
