"The Lives of the Twelve Caesars, Volume 13: Grammarians and Rhetoricians" by C. Suetonius Tranquillus is a historical account likely written in the early centuries AD, following the time of the Roman Empire. This volume focuses on the lives of notable grammarians and rhetoricians, exploring their influence on Roman education and culture during a significant period of literary development. The text provides insights into the evolution of grammar and rhetoric in Rome, showcasing key figures and their contributions to language and public speaking. In this volume, Suetonius presents a series of biographical sketches that highlight the achievements, challenges, and eccentricities of various grammarians and rhetoricians. Among those featured are Lucius Plotius Gallus, who made significant contributions to teaching Latin, as well as Lucius Octacilius Pilitus, who transitioned from slavery to prominence in rhetoric. The narratives not only detail their educational methodologies and influences but also reveal their personal struggles and societal contexts, such as issues of class and the shifting attitudes towards education. Through these accounts, Suetonius documents the foundational role that these scholars and teachers played in shaping language and public discourse in ancient Rome.
