Interesting
Not just a list of dates and places, this series of biographies gives portraits of the Roman Emperors as real people, describing their personal quirks and follies. The writer, Suetonius, actually knew some of these Emperors personally. The book also includes biographies of some of the lesser-known Emperors like Galba and Otho, not just the famous Emperors like Nero and Caligula. A very interesting read.
