Suetonius divus augustus

This useful edition of Suetonius'' Life of Augustus, one of twelve imperial biographies contained in that author''s De vita Caesarum , was first published by Oxford University Press in 1927. Part of a series which includes a volume on each of the Julio-Claudian emperor. It includes the Latin text, Chronology, detailed Notes on the text and comprehensive indexes. In 1982 it was substantially updated with an Introduction including an overview of Suetonius'' life and works and an assessment of the value of the Divus Julius , a Bibliography and Additional Notes by J. Carter for this edition.The aims of the commentary are primarily ''historical'', and though the Latin text is provided, it should be usable to students of history who may prefer to read Suetonius in translation. Suetonius is every bit a literary figure as a historical source - genre, style and composition are covered in the Introduction.>
