i know this sounds crazy but i'm probably going to actually read tacitus and suetonius when i've finished college..when i read the prescribed sections i find myself reading on and looking in the index for people they refer to just to find out what happens to them next so i figure it would make sense to just read the whol thing and enhance my knowledge on the subject
of course it will come about a month too late considering my exam is at the end of may and i finish for college at the end of june, but i'll do it for me haha.
besides some of the stories are really interesting, as a rule i'm generally more interested in the mythology or greek side of classics but the romans were just so messed up that their personal lives were fascinating with so many twists and turns..i can see why it makes a good tv show or a good novel you know because some of it sounds like it shouldn't be real..but it is
i just wish that things like provinces and frontiers and the senate and stuff like that weren't involved in the exam because i'd be fine haha
