C. Suvetonii Tranquilli De XII Caesaribus libri VIII. Isaacus Casaubonus iterum recensuit. Accessit ejusdem Animadversionum appendicula. Additi etiam sunt Suetonii libelli De illustribus grammaticis et de claris rhetoribus.
This edition brings together Suetonius's raw, unfiltered accounts of Roman power with the rigorous critical mind of Isaac Casaubon. It asks a blunt question: does absolute power inevitably corrupt the human soul, or do the Caesars simply provide the stage where greed and tyranny naturally perform?
