Lives of the CaesarsThe Lives of the Caesars include the biographies of Julius Caesar and the eleven subsequent emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Gaius Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitelius, Vespasian, Titus, Domitian. Suetonius composed his material from a variety of sources, without much concern for their reliability.

The Lives of the Caesars include the biographies of Julius Caesar and the eleven subsequent emperors: Augustus, Tiberius, Gaius Caligula, Claudius, Nero, Galba, Otho, Vitelius, Vespasian, Titus, Domitian. Suetonius composed his material from a variety of sources, without much concern for their reliability. His biographies consist of the ancestry and career of each emperor in turn; however, his interest is not so much analytical or historical, but anecdotal and salacious which gives rise to a lively and provocative succession of portraits. For example, the account of Julius Caesar does not simply mention his crossing of the Rubicon and his assassination, but draws attention to his dark piercing eyes and attempts to conceal his baldness. The life of Caligula presents a vivid picture of the emperor's grotesque appearance, his waywardness, and his insane cruelties.

The format and style of Suetonius' Lives of the Caesars was to set the tone for biography throughout western literature--his work remains thoroughly readable and full of interest. Indeed, it was Robert Graves's primary reference source when he was writing I, Claudius, and those who have read his book will enjoy the original accounts as set down here.

Tough Chew!
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: Medium
Sporn is a very tough chew. We have a 22pound Beagle 1 year old. She spend little time working on the Hard plastic that encases the marrow. Now I don't doubt there are some dogs that would chew this mindlessly for the small marrow treat. It is not for my pup! She needs more play to keep at it. A TOUGH CHEW would be better slightly less thick and more marrow inside. I attached a string and had her whirly birding around chasing this bone but once we let go she has a 30 second interest. Not for every dog maybe for the big guys 100 lb brutus !

Dogs are enjoying it!
Flavor Name: Beef, Size: Medium/Large
I just got this bone today but so far my dogs love it. They have been playing with it and alternating who’s chewing on it. My 8 month old got the blue rubber piece off in about 10 minutes, so if that’s the primary factor for purchasing, note that.

lasted 3 days
Flavor Name: Original Jerky, Size: Medium
I have a 10 m.o. Aussie who is in chronic chew stage. I was hoping that this bone would last longer than Benebone. Watching pup chew her little heart out, I noticed she was tearing off little pieces of the plastic bone and swallowing them. Threw out. Wish I'd returned. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR SUPER CHEWERS

I like it, but
Flavor Name: Wishbone, Size: Large
Two large dogs, two different experiences. They both loved the toy, but one chewed it up within a couple of weeks - much longer than most toys last for him. The other one still loves it and uses it daily,(has had it for two months) but if I don't trim off the sharp points that form, it gets blood from his gums on it. Would still recommend it as each dog is different. Worth a try.
