The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 08: Otho by Suetonius
"The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 08: Otho" by Suetonius is a biography written in 121 CE as part of a larger work chronicling Rome's early emperors. This volume focuses on Otho, one of the brief rulers during the turbulent Year of the Four Emperors. Written while Suetonius served as secretary to Emperor Hadrian, the biography blends political history with intimate personal details. Though criticized for relying on gossip and hearsay,
it remains a valuable primary source, offering insights into an emperor's life that other historical accounts have lost to time. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
