The Lives Of The Twelve Caesars: Grammarians And Rhetoricians V13

""The Lives of the Twelve Caesars: Grammarians and Rhetoricians V13"" is a book written by Tranquillus, also known as C. Suetonious. It is a historical account of the lives of the twelve Roman emperors who ruled from Julius Caesar to Domitian. This volume specifically focuses on the grammarians and rhetoricians who were influential figures during the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, and Caligula. The book provides insight into the political, social, and cultural climate of ancient Rome during this period, as well as the personalities and actions of the emperors and the people who surrounded them. It is a valuable resource for historians, scholars, and anyone interested in Roman history and culture.XIV. CURTIUS NICIA was the intimate friend of Cneius Pompeius and Caius Memmius; but having carried notes from Memmius to Pompey's wife [878], when she was debauched by Memmius, Pompey was indignant, and forbad him his house. He was also on familiar terms with Marcus Cicero, who thus speaks of him in his epistle to Dolabella [879]: ""I have more need of receiving letters from you, than you have of desiring them from me. For there is nothing going on at Rome in which I think you would take any interest, except, perhaps, that you may like to know that I am appointed umpire between our friends Nicias and Vidius. The one, it appears, alleges in two short verses that Nicias owes him (517) money; the other, like an Aristarchus, cavils at them. I, like an old critic, am to decide whether they are Nicias's or spurious.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
