From the dignified grace of Augustus to the cruel debauchery of Nero, this history chronicles all the vices and virtues of the first 12 rulers of Imperial Rome.

The Twelve Caesars was written based on the information of eyewitnesses and public records. It conveys a very accurate picture of court life in Rome and contains some of the raciest and most salacious material to be found in all of ancient literature.

The writing is clear, simple and easy to understand, and the numerous anecdotes of juicy scandal, bitter court intrigue, and murderous brigandage easily hold their own against the most spirited content of today's tabloids.

Just so people are aware, this audiobook uses the translation of Alexander Thompson. Previously there was an audiobook by the same company and even the same narrator (!) - though I've no idea whether it was available on audible - that used the Robert Graves translation. I suppose they either lost or couldn't afford the rights to it anymore and so came out with this instead. There are audiobooks out there with the Graves translation (such as the one already mentioned) - and that's the version of Suetonius I would recommend to people - though I see none are available through Audible at this time.

Unfortunately a Poor Translation Used
