C. Suetoni Tranquilli: Divus Augustus
Bok av Evelyn S Shuckburgh
The Life of Augustus, which forms the second book in Suetonius' De Vita Caesarum, has long been a standard work of reference for those interested in the golden age of Rome. This volume offers an edition of the Latin text by Evelyn Shirley Shuckburgh, presented alongside exhaustive scholarly notes. Shuckburgh's edition emphasizes the historical background to passages and draws references from the works of other classical authors. When first published in 1896, this work represented the first edition of its kind in English, and it continues to remain an excellent source of groundwork for classicists and historians.
