The Lives Of The Twelve Caesars: Lives Of The Poets V14

The Lives of the Twelve Caesars: Lives of the Poets V14 is a book written by C. Suetonius Tranquillus. The book is a historical account of the lives of the twelve Roman Emperors, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. The author provides a detailed description of each emperor's life, including their personal lives, political careers, and military conquests. The book also includes a section on the lives of several famous Roman poets, such as Virgil and Horace. The author's writing style is straightforward and factual, making the book an excellent resource for anyone interested in Roman history. The book is considered a classic work of historical literature and has been widely read and studied for centuries.It is reported that he was immoderately addicted to venery. For he is said to have had obscene pictures so disposed in a bedchamber lined with mirrors, that, whichever way he looked, lascivious images might present themselves to his view.] 971] He lived for the most part in the retirement of his farm 972], on the confines of the Sabine and Tiburtine territories, and his house is shewn in the neighbourhood of a little wood not far from Tibur. Some Elegies ascribed to him, and a prose Epistle apparently written to commend himself to Mecaenas, have been handed down to us; but I believe that neither of them are genuine works of his; for the Elegies are commonplace, and the Epistle is wanting in perspicuity, a fault which cannot be imputed to his style.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
