Suetonius' Ancient Blog For Ancient History Students Monday, May 03, 2010 THE FLEA Check out THE FLEA at http://www.the-flea.com/ posted by Caratacus at 8:27 AM 6 comments Tuesday, September 20, 2005 Calleva Atrebatum's Public Baths I What does the Public Baths building in Calleva Atrebatum tell us about life in a Roman town of a recently conquered province, Roman Britain? Of the known public buildings in Romano-British towns, public baths are the most frequent. 1 The Roman historian Tacitus, in his biography of the Roman Governor of Britain Gaius Julius Agricola, listed  bath-houses as one of the “temptations” that caused the aristocrats of Celtic Britain to adopt a Roman lifestyle. 2 This research will focus on the bath-house at Calleva Atrebatum as an example of an important public building in a Roman town, and attempt to discover some of what this structure might reveal about life in Roman Britain in the years after the Claudian invasion. Calleva Atrebatum (Silchester), unlike most Roman towns in Britain, was completely abandoned, and not built over by an existing modern city, so it is possible to examine the entire extent of the town.  In the pre-Roman Iron Age there was a Celtic settlement on the site, evidenced by large defensive earthworks and traces of round houses dating back to the late first century BC. By the beginning of the first century AD the round houses had been replaced by a planned settlement with streets almost at right angles to each other, suggesting a Celtic settlement heavily under the influence of Roman culture, an interpretation supported by coinage of the period issued by Eppilus, inscribed CALLEV (Calleva) and sometimes REX, the Latin word for ‘king’.

Suetonius Categories 160 deaths 75 births Roman era biographers Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus AD), commonly known simply as Suetonius , was a Roman writer Suetonius was an administrator working as a secretary to the emperor Hadrian , prior to his sacking by Hadrian for allegedly showing disrespect to the Empress Sabina. He is remembered chiefly as the author of "The Lives of the First Twelve Caesars" ( De vita Caesarum ), a biography of Roman leaders, which has been the source for many works on Roman history , and he is generally considered one of the most impartial historians of ancient times. This does not mean, however, that he did not have his favorites such as Caesar Augustus , whom he preferred vastly over such emperors as Nero and Gaius Caligula . Suetonius was also rather fond of alleged lewd details from the lives of those about whom he wrote. Many of these episodes, often sexual in nature, are likely derived from rumors going about at the time of Suetonius or in the records available to him in his erstwhile position in the administration of Hadrian, thus potentially representing 2nd century attitudes regarding prior emperors and the imperial office.

Gill's Ancient/Classical History Glossary See More About: suetonius biographies caesar roman historians zSB(3,3) Definition: Suetonius (fully, Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus) was an equestrian-rank Roman writer of biographies who lived from c. A.D. 70. to c. 130, making him a child during the start of the reign of the Flavian emperors. Suetonius' father was a military tribune in the thirteenth legion Gemina, under the Emperor Otho when he committed suicide, which, based on the necessary retirement of a defeated emperor's officers that or execution, suggests the earliest possible birthdate for Suetonius, according to Lendering. Suetonius may have come Hippo Regius in the province of Africa. By A.D. 97, Suetonius' scholarship had come to attention in Rome, and especially the Roman statesman, governor of Pontus and Bithynia in 111-113, and correspondent of the Emperor Trajan, Pliny the Younger. Suetonius probably accompanied Pliny when he went to Bithynia to serve as legate. Pliny arranged for Suetonius to receive undeservedly the privilege of the law of three children.

Juvenal, the Younger Pliny, Suetonius: Decay of Classical Latin Previous Section Amid the decay of imagination and of the higher qualities of style, the tradition of industry and accuracy to some degree survived. The biographies of Suetonius show considerable research and complete honesty; and the same qualities, though united with a feebler judgment, appear in the interesting miscellanies of his younger contemporary, Aulus Gellius. This work, published under the fanciful title of "Noctes Atticae", is valuable at once as a collection of extracts from older writers and as a source of information regarding the knowledge and studies of his own age. Few authors are more scrupulously accurate in quotation; and by this conscientiousness, as well as by his real admiration for the great writers, he shows the pedantry of the time on its most pleasing side.

He is remembered chiefly as the author of "The Lives of the First Twelve Caesars" ( De vita Caesarum ), history of Roman leaders, which has been the source for many works on Roman history and is generally regarded as about as impartial as a historian of ancient times could be. This does not mean, however, that he did not have his favorites such as Caesar Augustus , whom he preferred vastly over such emperors as Nero and Gaius Caligula .

Home Page Frequently Asked Questions Did Suetonius write about Jesus? Probably. As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus, he (Claudius) expelled them from Rome A common objection to this passage is that "Chrestus" was a common name, not a title. They say that if Suetonius was referring to Jesus, he would have called Him "Christus". This is somewhat true, but we have very good reason to suppose that Suetonius merely misspelled "Christus" here (perhaps mistaking the title for a name) and was referring to Jesus. One reason is that the "Chrestus" he is referring to seems to be someone he expects his audience to be somewhat familiar with. He doesn't say "a man named Chrestus" or anything along those lines, just "Chrestus". There is no record of someone by this name who was so well-known that Suetonius' audience would have recognized him by the name alone. This makes Jesus, at the very least, the most likely candidate for being the one Suetonius was talking about. He certainly may have been talking about someone else, but it's more likely than not that he was referring to Jesus here. Even the

Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus From LoveToKnow 1911 GAIUS SUETONIUS TRANQUILLUS, Roman historian, lived during the end of the 1st and the first half of the 2nd century A.D. He was the contemporary of Tacitus and the younger Pliny , and his literary work seems to have been chiefly done in the reigns of Trajan and Hadrian (A.D. 98-138). His father was military tribune in the XIIIth legion , and he himself began life as a teacher of rhetoric and an advocate. To us he is known as the biographer of the twelve Caesars (including Julius) down to Domitian . The lives are valuable as covering a good deal of ground where we are without the guidance of Tacitus. As Suetonius was the emperor Hadrian's private secretary ( magister epistolarum ), he must have had access to many important documents in the Imperial archives, e.g. the decrees and transactions of the senate . In addition to written and official documents, he picked up in society a mass of information and anecdotes, which, though of doubtful authenticity, need not be regarded * as mere inventions of his own. They give a very good idea of the kind of court gossip prevalent in Rome at the time. He was a friend and correspondent of the younger

52. How Do We Know About Jesus? Tantalizing scraps of evidence have come down to us in the writings of ancient historians like Josephus, Tacitus and suetonius. But can we trust them? http://www.wcg.org/lit/bible/gospels/howknow.htm

The Gospels are not the only historical record of Jesus. Classical historians mention him, too. Or do they? The four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, have given us a remarkable record of the life and work of Jesus Christ. But some people discount them as biased. They want to see evidence of Jesus from historians who were not themselves part of the Christian community. It seems that such independent corroboration does, indeed, exist. Tantalizing scraps of evidence have come down to us in the writings of ancient historians like Josephus, Tacitus and Suetonius. But can we trust them? Do they really reinforce the Gospels with independent, unbiased evidence of Jesus? Christians must "fight fair." Before we set too much store by these ancient records as sources, we must ask if they are reliable. Perhaps these historians were not really saying what some Christian writers want to make them say. But does it really matter? Let's take a closer look. The Greco-Roman Sources 1) Tacitus The first Roman historian to mention Christ is Tacitus, who wrote his last significant work, the Annals, around
