Жизнь двенадцати цезарей

The Life of the Twelve Caesars (c. 120 AD) - the most famous monument of Roman literature, which had a significant impact on European culture - was written by the historian Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus. Unlike his older contemporaries - Tacitus, who sought to comprehend the laws of history, and Plutarch, who tried to explain the laws of the human soul - Suetonius dispassionately and in detail sets out the most important historical events, sets as his task not the creation of integral images, but the transfer of biographical information of each of the twelve Caesars - from describing appearance, habits, health, clothing, even food and sleep, to participation in the most important events of Roman history.
