Suetonius THE TWELVE CAESARS Folio Society 1990

Second folio printing slipcased hardback of THE TWELVE CAESARS originally by Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus, translated and with a Foreword by Robert Graves and published by The Folio Society in 1990. Wood-engravings by Raymond Hawthorn. Previous owner name and date to front endpaper.

The book is in near fine condition (red cloth boards with gilt artwork to front and gilt lettering to spine) with no significant wear. The book is in a very good+ slipcase that also has no wear to speak of.

Suetonius was fortunate in having ready access to the Imperial and Senatorial archives and to a great body of contemporary memoirs and public documents, and in having himself lived nearly thirty years under the Caesars. Much of his information about Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero comes from eye-witnesses to the events described.
