Biographies of the twelve emperors of Rome from Julius Caesar to Domitian, chronicling their reigns and assessing their personalities, actions, and legacies. 

The personalities of the Twelve Caesars of ancient Rome -Julius Caesar and the first eleven Roman emperors who followed him - have profoundly impressed themselves upon the world. They formed the theme of the most readable of biographers, Suetonius. He had a lot to say about their sexual and other aberrations, and one of the purposes of the present book is to try to penetrate the fog of picturesque rumors and estimate how seriously the various stories can be regarded. But this is only one part of a general attempt to discover what sort of men these astonishing Caesars were. They bore the responsibility of governing an empire comparable in magnitude and diversity to the United States or the Soviet Union today.
