Suetonius

About the Author

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was born around AD 70 and probably died sometime before AD 130 or 140. He may have been born near modern Modena, Italy, while his father was serving as an officer under Vespasian. He spent at least some of his early years in Rome in the emperors palace and practiced law very briefly, but found that he was more suited to a life of letters.
