EASTON PRESS Suetonius: Lives Of The Twelve Caesars; Leather;Gilt;Complt Mini - Ed
Item History & Price
A facsimile of a great 1717 English edition - of this ancient classic - with several pull-out Illustrations: see photos. Suetonius provides us with much of our conventional knowledge (but much of it gossip) of the Roman Emperors, starting from Julius Caesar- whose own family name became synonymous with Emperor. Discover which Emperor had an “alcoholic flush, ” as well as which conquered Britain. Very nice condition; leather, gilt, ribbon all good; when the book is compressed the gi...lt looks a lot better than those photos show! Only 7 1/2” x 4 1/4” x 1 1/2” - not quite a miniature but a great size for a summer beach read, in classical style. Will ship by next business day after payment. Thanks for your interest and consideration. Happy July - the month that honors the first Caesar!
