«Los doce Césares» is Suetonius's biographical work on the first twelve Caesars, published by Iberia in paperback (376 pages, in Spanish).
It gathers the biographies of the first twelve Caesars of Rome and combines political and military events with the private sphere of each ruler: rumours, scandals, quirks and court anecdotes. The narrative lingers on figures such as Julius Caesar, Augustus and Nero to offer a choral portrait of imperial power in the first century.
Volume number 159 of the Iberia Literature-Masterpieces collection, published in December 1994.
For readers interested in the history of Rome, the biographies of its rulers and classical literature.
Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, commonly referred to as Suetonius, was a Roman historian who wrote during the early Imperial era of the Roman Empire. His most important surviving work is De vita Caesarum, commonly known in English as The Twelve Caesars, a set of biographies of 12 successive Roman rulers from Julius Caesar to Domitian. Other works by Suetonius concerned the daily life of Rome, politics, oratory, and the lives of famous writers, including poets, historians, and grammarians. A few of these books have partially survived, but many have been lost.
