Suetonius' book is fantastic, this book offers a real insight in to the lives Julius Caesar and the Emperors of Rome through to Domitian, Suetonius was uniquely placed to be able to gather a lot of information on these emperors, it's this dearth of information that makes this book so enjoyable to read.
