emperors was based on skill rather than familial relations. The sexual depravity and scandal of the Julio-Claudian and Flavian dynasties present a foil in Suetonius’ work to the moral, upright, Nerva-Antonine emperors. While there may have been small truths in The Twelve Caesars, much of the work included exaggerations and scandal for public controversy.

pushes the limits on the conventional definition of love by acknowledging the harsh reality, that it isn't all hearts and butterflies. When describing love, we tend to quickly jump into a world where problems cease to exist and revel in complete and total infatuation with our partner. This may be so, but as you and I both know love isn't as one-sided as just that. It doesn't come out of the blue, it's a desired commodity that comes with a world of complexity.
