Villae y otros espacios de recreo en las Vidas de los Doce Césares de Suetonio

Abstract

The analysis of the uses of villa, insula, suburbanum, hortus in the Vitae duodecim Caesarum written by Caius Suetonius Tranquillus reveals that, sometimes, the biographer describes these places of leisure in a negative sense. This is most evident in the Vitae Caesarum for whom Suetonius feels less affection.
