Part of a series which includes a volume on each of the Julio-Claudian emperor.  It includes the Latin text, Chronology, detailed Notes on the text and comprehensive indexes. In 1982 it was substantially updated with an Introduction including an overview of Suetonius' life and works and an assessment of the value of the \u003ci\u003eDivus Julius\u003c\/i\u003e, a Bibliography and Additional Notes by J. Carter for this edition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe aims of the commentary are primarily 'historical', and though the Latin text is provided, it should be usable to students of history who may prefer to read Suetonius in translation.  Suetonius is every bit a literary figure as a historical source – genre, style and composition are covered in the Introduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ. M.
