While Suetonius is renowned for his biographies of emperors like Caligula and Nero, his own writings have received less attention, except for grammatical or textual commentaries. This groundbreaking volume, authored by an expert on the author, aims to make Suetonius accessible to a wider audience, exploring his biographies not only of emperors but also poets and uncovering new contemporary evidence for Jesus from one of Suetonius' first-century sources. Other writers discussed in the book include Homer, Sophocles, Catullus, Virgil, Horace, Curtius Rufus, Josephus, Plutarch, Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, Juvenal, and Cassius Dio. Comprising thirty-two papers, eleven of which are new, this collection explores Suetonius' neglected historical value and literary skills, offering textual conjectures on both the Illustrious Men and Lives of the Caesars. Additionally, it features a new introduction and represents over a dozen years of research on an essential Latin source for Roman history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCollected Papers on Suetonius serves as an invaluable resource for students and scholars engaged in the study of Suetonius. Moreover, its broader significance extends to anyone interested in Roman imperial history, Latin literature, and classical historiography.
