The Twelve Caesars chronicles the public careers and private lives of the men who wielded absolute power over Rome, from the foundation of the empire under Julius Caesar and Augustus to the decline into depravity under Nero and the recovery that came with his successors. This masterpiece of observation, immortalized in Robert Graves's classic translation, presents us with a gallery of vividly drawn - and all too human - individuals.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTranslated by ROBERT GRAVES\u003cbr\u003e\nRevised with an Introduction and notes by JAMES B.
