Overview

First volume contains David Magie’s translation of 12 biographies by four different Roman biographers, Second volume contains David Magie’s translation of nine biographies by three different Roman biographers, and Third volume contains David Magie’s translation of nine biographies by Trebellius Pollio and Flavius Vopiscus and an index. The text presents itself as historical, though historians debate over the authenticity of its authorship and content. Some facts included in the texts are verified by other sources, some are the only documentation of specific events, and some of them are clearly fictitious. David Magie addresses this debate and draws from previous scholarship on the controversy.
