"Witty, urbane, obscene, tender, playful, funny and heart-breaking. Catullus writes passion (in all its guises) like no-one else and also paints a vivid picture of Roman society in the late C1st bce."
"The gossipy, scurrilous, witty and irreverent Suetonius yet has an important story to tell about the first twelve Caesars, from Julius Caesar to Domitian. A better translation than the old Penguin one"
