E selectis multorum observationibus - Suetonius Tranquillius, Gaius c69-c122; Schild, Johannes 1595-1667 (Leiden Hack, 1647)
Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was a Roman historian who wrote during the early Imperial era of the Roman Empire. His most important surviving work is this set of biographies of 12 successive Roman rulers, from Julius Caesar to Domitian, sometimes also entitled De vita Caesarum. Other works by Suetonius concerned the daily life of Rome, politics, oratory, and the lives of famous writers, including poets, historians, and grammarians. A few of these books have partially survived, but many have been lost.
