The title "Twelve Caesars" is taken from Suetonius. Michael Grant's book (as are all of his books) is basically just a rehash of the primary sources

This is pathetic. Who are you to be recommending books on "Ancient Rome" if you've never even heard of Mommsen (or J.P.V.D. Balsdon for
that matter)!?
And where's Gibbon?
SLRL1A1 3 years ago
No, he received the 1902 Nobel Prize for it; quality scholarship. I agree with froberts, where are the primary sources?

He really likes Michael Grant. I suggest some primary sources such as Plutarch, Polybius, Appian, Suetonius, Tacitus and Livy. These guys were Greeks and Romans writing about people and events in Roman history. Grant probably gets most of his source materials from them. Good luck, Roman history is fascinating.

i was impressed by the intelligence and the
huge knowlege of this man and his devotion
to his work a work ethic today's writers don't have!
its a real opus magnus

"he even received a nobel prize for it"
That probably means it's bad.

the most impressive book i've ever read about the romans was Theodor Mommsen's "Roman History" in 5 volumes i learned a lot
he even received a nobel prize for it
unbehagen1000 4 years ago
Sadly all the texts mentioned are secondary sources, no mention of Titus Livius (Livy), Caius Suetonius Tranquillus, Publius Cornelius Tacitus, Dio or Plutarch.

The word 'caesar' just meant king. All the Roman emperors were titled 'caesar' there many more than 12.
