Written in the early 2nd century AD, Suetonius draws on imperial archives and personal recollections to present intimate, unflinching portraits of power, ambition, virtue, and depravity at the heart of Rome. Robert Graves's celebrated translation renders the original Latin with remarkable clarity and wit, making the text as gripping and immediate as a modern political drama. This illustrated edition enriches the experience further, pairing the biographical narratives with striking visual imagery of Roman monuments, sculpture, and archaeological sites that bring the ancient world to life. An essential volume for anyone captivated by the grandeur and corruption of Rome's imperial age.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956173549787,"sku":"2026100006069-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/6d3a1d81-b369-4069-b7bb-111f27d28f91.png?v=1783498646","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100006069-secondhand-the-twelve-caesars","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
