    About this ebook

    The Twelve Caesars, is a set of twelve biographies of Julius Caesar and the first 11 emperors of the Roman Empire written by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus. The work, written in AD 121 during the reign of the emperor Hadrian, was the most popular work of Suetonius, at that time Hadrian's personal secretary, and is the largest among his surviving writings. The Twelve Caesars is considered very significant in antiquity and remains a primary source on Roman history.

      So you've read Suetonius's kinky, gossipy accounts of the early Caesars and loved it but you want more meat, less gossip? Or maybe you want more of the same. Caligula's life will provide enough fodder for those who liked to be amazed at the brazen immorality of the Roman rulers. Plus, it has enough solid support to make it more than a guilty pleasure. Excellent in most ways.
    • 4/5
      Barrett doesn't fail to please his readers with this very detailed look at the Emperior Gaius Caligula. Historically considered to have gone "crazy"...did he really? Barrett investigates whether or not the 'craziness' was in part because he was in fear for his life throughout childhood, and once he was on the "seat of power" as emperor he was pushing the limits to see what all he could get away with.
