Suetonius: Lives of Galba, Otho and Vitellius

Suetonius has often been used as if he were an historian, and at the same time criticised for not being one.

David Shotter is Emeritus Professor in the Department of History at Lancaster University, and has published widely on aspects of the Early Principate, Roman Coinage and Roman Britain. He has edited and translated Suetonius: Lives of Galba, Otho and Vitellius and Tacitus: Annals IV in the Aris & Phillips Classical Texts series.
