For everyone's reference, Suetonius' wildly entertaining
The Lives of the Twelve Caesars can be read (free) or downloaded courtesy of the wonderful folks at Gutenberg.org.

What a great read! It forms the basis of the book I, Claudius which became the great tv series. Sort of an early National Enquirer.

It is interesting that we know more about the Caesars than we do about King Harold and the kings who lived 1000 years later.
