Extractions: (The Lives of the Caesars, The Deified Julius), written c. 110 CE I. II. He served his first campaign in Asia on the personal staff of Marcus Thermus, governor of the province [81 BC]. Being sent by Thermus to Bithynia, to fetch a fleet, he dawdled so long at the court of Nicomedes that he was suspected of improper relations with the king; and he lent color to this scandal by going back to Bithynia a few days after his return, with the alleged purpose of collecting a debt for a freedman, one of his dependents. During the rest of the campaign he enjoyed a better reputation, and at the storming of Mytilene [80 BC] Thermus awarded him the civic crown [a chaplet of oak leaves, given for saving the life of a fellow-citizen, the highest military award of the Roman state]. III. He served too under Servilius Isauricus in Cilicia, but only for a short time; for learning of the death of Sulla, and at the same time hoping to profit by a counter-revolution which Marcus Lepidus was setting on foot, he hurriedly returned to Rome [78 BC]. But he did not make common cause with Lepidus, although he was offered highly favorable terms, through lack of confidence both in that leader's capacity and in the outlook, which he found less promising than he had expected.

Book Reviews The Stoa and the Perseus Project will be collaborating on a new electronic edition of Suetonius's Lives of the Caesars . This integrated electronic edition will contain Latin texts, English translations, and commentaries, together with links to the extensive lexical and geographical reference material available at Perseus. It is hoped that this edition of Suetonius can contribute to a core set of primary texts for ancient Roman biography at Perseus. Meanwhile, the Stoa can help to promote new ways of using and presenting electronic texts: I am especially hopeful that we can present versions of Suetonius at the Stoa designed for Latin students at different levels, ranging from beginning to advanced students.

Extractions: Buy This Art Print At AllPosters.com In The Life of Claudius 25.4, we find the statement, "As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he expelled them from Rome." This is plausibly a reference to the expulsion of Jewish Christians from Rome. The author of Acts makes mention of this same expulsion, which occurred in 49 CE according to the fifth century church father Orosius, in Acts 18:2. "There he [Paul] met a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, who had recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had ordered all the Jews to leave Rome." Aquila and Priscilla seem to have been converted prior to meeting Paul. However, it is also possible that the Jews were expelled from Rome for a different cause. Chrestus is a suitable Greek name, so there may have been an agitator by the name of Chrestus in Rome. Or there may have been a different messianic pretender in Rome. It is difficult to say. Suetonius also makes mention of Nero's persecution in 16.2: "Punishment by Nero was inflicted on the Christians, a class of men given to a new and mischievous superstition."

Extractions: The Divine Augustus 1. That the family of the Octavii was of the first distinction in Velitrae, is rendered evident by many circumstances. For in the most frequented part of the town there was, not long since, a street named the Octavian; and an altar was to be seen, consecrated to one Octavius, who being chosen general in a war with some neighbouring people, the enemy making a sudden attack, while he was sacrificing to Mars, he immediately snatched the entrails of the victim from off the fire, and offered them half raw upon the altar; after which, marching out to battle, he returned victorious. This incident gave rise to a law, by which it was enacted, that in all future times the entrails should be offered to Mars in the same manner; and the rest of the victim be carried to the Octavii. 5. Augustus was born in the consulship of Marcus Tullius Cicero and Gaius Antonius [63 BCE], upon the ninth of the calends of October [the 23rd September], a little before sunrise, in the quarter of the Palatine Hill, and the street called The Ox-Heads, where now stands a chapel dedicated to him, and built a little after his death. For, as it is recorded in the proceedings of the senate, Gaius Laetorius, a young man of a patrician family, in pleading before the senators for a lighter sentence, upon his being convicted of adultery, alleged, besides his youth and quality, that he was the possessor, and as it were the guardian, of the ground which the Divine Augustus first touched upon his coming into the world; and entreated that he might find favour, for the sake of that deity, who was in a peculiar manner his; an act of the senate was passed, for the consecration of that part of his house in which Augustus was born.

( Vit Suetonius' biography of Vitellius, a brief, but systematic, attack on that emperor's character and principate, culminates in the lurid scene quoted above, in which Vitellius is executed. Why should Suetonius have represented Vitellius, who reigned for so short a time, in such harshly negative terms? Partly, no doubt, because the basic tradition about Vitellius was established during the era of the Flavians, by whom, of course, he had been overthrown. The ancient source who most nearly approaches the almost uniformly negative picture provided by Suetonius is Flavius Josephus, and, at least in his case, for obvious reasons. But while the portrait offered by our other principal sources, Tacitus and Dio, is indeed decidedly unflattering and hostile, being largely based upon the same source-material as Suetonius', it is not without some attempt at equity (e.g. Tac.

Extractions: Julius XXV He was the first Roman to build a bridge and attack the Germans beyond the Rhine ; and he inflicted heavy losses upon them. He invaded the Britons too, a people unknown before, vanquished them, and exacted moneys and hostages. Amid all these successes he met with adverse fortune but three times in all: in Britain, where his fleet narrowly escaped destruction in a violent storm ; in Gaul, when one of his legions was routed at Gergovia ; and on the borders of Germany, when his lieutenants Titurius and Aurunculeius were ambushed and slain. Julius XLVII They say that he was led to invade Britain by the hope of getting pearls, and that in comparing their size he sometimes weighed them with his own hand ; that he was always a most enthusiastic collector of gems, carvings, statues, and pictures by early artists ; also of slaves of exceptional figure and training at enormous prices, of which he himself was so ashamed that he forbade their entry in his accounts. Julius LVIII In the conduct of his campaigns it is a question whether he was more cautious or more daring, for he never led his army where ambuscades were possible without carefully reconnoitring the country, and he did not cross to Britain without making personal inquiries about the harbours, the course, and the approach to the island. But on the other hand, when news came that his camp in Germany was beleaguered, he made his way to his men through the enemies' pickets, disguised as a Gaul.

Extractions: English Hardback In stock The first-century emperor Claudius did not leave the fledgling Roman Empire as he had found it: his contribution was to turn its developing institutions into an imperial tradition. But the ancient sources represent him as an odd personality - active but manipulated by his inferiors, at once distracted and awkward and cruel. Suetonius biography is a rich offering of both solid fact and the prejudicial anecdotes that his contemporaries and the generation that followed thought worth repeating, raw material for exploring the man and his reign. This commentary provides context for the texts abundant information, but form is not neglected, and attention is given to Suetonius intelligent and conscious marshalling of his material, and guidance offered to students reading the biographers often densely compressed style.

http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/romans/literature/suetonius.htm

Extractions: Suetonius Suetonius lived just a little later than Seneca, during the Flavian emperors and then into the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian . He lived at the same time as the younger Pliny , and was a friend of his. He was not himself much involved with politics, and did not come from one of the leading families of the Empire. He worked at court, though, apparently in charge of keeping records for the emperors of what they had done and what the emperors who came before them had done. Because of his position, Suetonius was able to know more history than most people, and he decided to share that knowledge by writing biographies of all the Roman Emperors up to his own time, from Julius Caesar to Domitian . Not all of Suetonius' biographies survived, but most of them did. They are, along with the histories of Tacitus , our most important sources of information about the early Roman emperors.
