About the author

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, commonly known as Suetonius (ca. 69/75 - after 130), was a Roman historian belonging to the equestrian order in the early Imperial era. His most important surviving work is a set of biographies of twelve successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar until Domitian, entitled De Vita Caesarum. Other works by Suetonius concern the daily life of Rome, politics, oratory, and the lives of famous writers, including poets, historians, and grammarians. A few of these books have partially survived, but many are entirely lost.

" Néron contemplait cet incendie du haut de la
tour de Mécène et charmé, disait-il, «par la beauté des flammes », il chanta la prise de Troie dans son costume de théâtre. "

"Le dernier jour de sa vie, tout en s'informant à plusieurs reprises si son état provoquait déjà de l'animation en ville, il réclama un miroir, fit arranger ses cheveux et relever ses joues pendantes, puis, ayant fait introduire ses amis, il leur demanda «s'il leur paraissait avoir bien joué jusqu'au bout la farce de la vie»."
