August an History

Biographies of the Roman emperors 117-284, all before Hadrian having perished. Spart i an us, who is thought identical with Lamp rid i us, wrote the lives down to Alexander Severus; Capitol in us, from Maximin to Gordian III.; Trebellius Pollio, as far as Claudius Gothic us; and Flavius Vopiscus the rest. They have historical value, but little literary merit.
