A scholar and private secretary to Emperor Hadrian, Suetonius used his position to describe "The Caesars" - from Julius Caesar to Nero and Domitian. Suetonius was a master observer and told accounts from the political realm. Some parts have come into question, as he did not verify the accuracy of all his sources.
