A masterful new translation, by award-winning historian Tom Holland, of Suetonius’ renowned biography of the twelve Caesars.

Placing each Caesar in the context of the generations that had gone before, and connecting personality with policy, we are shown their tastes, their foibles, their eccentricities and their bedrooms. The Lives of the Caesars is an astonishing, immersive experience of a time and culture at once familiar and utterly alien to our own.
