About Suetonius

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus was probably born in AD 69--the so-called "year of the four Emperors." He was described by Suetonius's patron Pliny the Younger as a reserved and scholarly man whose great passion in life was literature. His abilities won him a high position in the imperial secretariat. He served the emperor Hadrian as the emperor's personal amanuensis, before being dismissed in obscure circumstances following a scandal that involved Hadrian's wife. Suetonius seems to have lived to a good age and probably died around the year 140.
