Suetonius (C. Suetonius Tranquillus, born ca. 70 CE), son of a military tribune, was at first an advocate and a teacher of rhetoric, but later became the emperor Hadrian’s private secretary, 119–121. He dedicated to C. Septicius Clarus, prefect of the praetorian guard, his Lives of the Caesars. After the dismissal of both men for some breach of court etiquette, Suetonius apparently retired and probably continued his writing. His other works, many known by title, are now lost except for part of the Lives of Illustrious Men (of letters).
Friend of Pliny the Younger, Suetonius was a studious and careful collector of facts, so that the extant lives of the emperors (including Julius Caesar the dictator) to Domitian are invaluable. His plan in Lives of the Caesars is: the emperor’s family and early years; public and private life; death. We find many anecdotes, much gossip of the imperial court, and various details of character and personal appearance. Suetonius’s account of Nero’s death is justly famous.

其實我手上有的上海三聯版,這個版本的譯者不同,還附送原文書,至於我看的商務版,有比較專業的前言跟附註,譯的方式也略略不同。算是各有優劣,有心人可以自行比較,不過商務版要買到已經不容易了,這點是毋庸置疑。 蘇維托尼烏斯的這本《羅馬十二帝王傳》,其實許多史家都對...
评分可能由于作者写书的时代问题,这本书文字的感觉类似于旧约。 总体来说翻译的不错,偶尔有一两个的地方有些奇怪而已, 例如,A是B的父亲的母亲。 这本书最为突出的地方就是写出了帝王的凡人那一面, 这本书里面很客观的会将帝王的功绩罗列出来,然后介绍帝王的凡人一面。在尼...
评分本来以为这部书是严肃正经的历史,结果看完大跌眼镜。作者根本不是在写严肃的历史,而是把罗马帝王当作当红明星,搜集编写他们的各种八卦和黑历史。作者如果放在现代,一定是个顶尖的八卦娱乐报刊记者。 罗马的“帝王”和中国的“帝王”性质差异很大,其实翻译成“凯撒”也许更...
评分雅典人是断了入仕道路的知识分子 应该会上论坛装精英发牢骚 罗马人是既得利益的公务员 应该在管理行省税收和粮运之余上黄色论坛瞎搞 在东方,帕提亚人会用互联网搞网上灵堂装神弄鬼顺便骗点会员费 犹太人是一群粪得不能再粪的愤青 随时会下线搞自杀袭击 埃及人是逆来顺受的农...
评分Suetonius是个比较清醒、谨慎的作者,他的作品没有表现出明显的政治倾向性。不过作为原始史料,读起来趣味性倒是没那么强,有点流水账的感觉,有些章节真的是看完就忘,印象最深的是Galba、Otho和Domitianus这三章。 Ser. Sulpicius Galba,初见这个名字,可以知道他出身于罗...
