I'm reading Suetonius for the first time, and just finished the chapter on Claudius. It is such an obvious hit piece, I can understand why Robert Graves was moved to write his Claudius novels!

De Romeinse schrijver #Suetonius is het bekendst van zijn keizerbiografieën. Hij had ook een bestuurlijke carrière, die we redelijk goed kunnen reconstrueren.

CW: The "Queen of Bithynia"
A number of sources allude to gossip around Caesar and homoeroticism:
#Catullus 93 (nil nimium studeo, Caesar): http://data.perseus.org/citations/urn:cts:latinLit:phi0472.phi001.perseus-lat1:93
#Suetonius Life of Caesar §49 (where the epithet appears): http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Suetonius/12Caesars/Julius*.html
#Plutarch Life of Caesar §10 (on the Bona Dea scandal): http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Plut.+Caes.+10&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0244

Ancient Roman historians had difficulty grappling with the enigmatic life of Otho, who ruled Rome as Emperor for 3 months in 69 AD. Once known for being Nero's associate, Otho opted to take his own life as Emperor after losing a significant, but perhaps not decisive battle, instead of continuing a civil war. I examine four ancient historians in more than 18,000 words.
