{"product_id":"collected-papers-on-suetonius","title":"Collected Papers on Suetonius","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of essays by a leading authority on Suetonius, one of our most significant historical sources for the early Roman Empire, provides an in-depth examination of his works, whose literary value has in the past been overlooked.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAlthough Suetonius is well known for his \u003ci\u003eLives \u003c\/i\u003eof emperors such as Caligula and Nero, he is rarely studied in his own right, aside from grammatical or textual commentaries. This is the first volume by an expert on the author to make him accessible to a wider audience, looking at his biographies not only of emperors but also poets, and discovering new contemporary evidence for Jesus from one of Suetonius’ first-century sources. Other writers discussed include Homer, Sophocles, Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Curtius Rufus, Josephus, Plutarch, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Juvenal, and Cassius Dio. The book contains thirty-two papers in all, eleven of which are new, which examine Suetonius’ neglected historical value and literary skills, and offer textual conjectures on both the \u003cem\u003eIllustrious Men\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLives of the Caesars\u003c\/em\u003e. It also has a new introduction and represents over a dozen years of research on an essential Latin source for Roman history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCollected Papers on Suetonius provides an invaluable resource for students and researchers working on Suetonius. It also has broader significance for anyone studying Roman imperial history and culture, Latin literature, and classical historiography.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54232966529368,"sku":"9780367560010","price":51.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367560010.jpg?v=1769001344","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/collected-papers-on-suetonius","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
