Written by Suetonius in 121 AD, "The Lives of the Caesars" details the lives of Julius Caesar and the first eleven emperors of Rome. Instead of focusing on grand political events or military conquests, Suetonius delves into the personal lives, habits, and even vices of these rulers. He uses a unique format, covering each emperor's family history, rise to power, public acts, private life, and death. While the book offers valuable insights into the personalities and daily lives of the emperors, it often includes scandalous details and gossip, which might not always be accurate. Despite its limitations, "The Lives of the Caesars" remains a captivating and influential work, offering a glimpse into the inner world of leaders who shaped the Roman Empire.
