Andrew Wallace-Hadrill was Director of the British School at Rome between 1995 and 2009, and then Professor of Roman Studies, and Master of Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge. He has been awarded an OBE for services to Anglo-Italian cultural relations, and elected a Fellow of the British Academy. His publications include Suetonius: the scholar and his Caesars (1983) and Suetonius (1995), both available from Bloomsbury; and more recently Rome's Cultural Revolution (2008) and Herculaneum: Past and Future (2011).

His book is an important contribution to the social history of the Roman elite in general as well as to Suetonian studies in particular. An integrated portrait of Suetonius and his age emerges, one that is compelling and imaginative.
