  10. AGRIPPINA’S RELATIONSHIP WITH NERO…

  11. According to the following sources, what did they believe was the relationship between Nero and Agrippina. Support with evidence from each source. • Suetonius • Cassius Dio • Tacticus

  12. Suetonius Info: Gaius Suetonius Tranquillus (c. 69/75 - after 130), also known as Suetonius, was a prominent Roman historian and biographer. The Twelve Caesars (also known as Lives of the Caesars), Suetonius regarded emperors who amassed wealth for the public purse to be "greedy", perhaps a reflection of the average Roman middle class attitudes. Wikipedia (2006)

  13. Cassius Dio Info: Dio Cassius Cocceianus (c. 165 – after 229), known in English as Dio Cassius or Cassius Dio, was a noted Roman historian and public servant. Dio published a Roman history, in eighty books, the fruit of his researches and labours of twenty-two years. It embraced a period of 983 years, extending from the arrival of Aeneas in Italy, and the subsequent founding of Rome, to AD 229. Down to the time of Julius Caesar, he only gives a summary of events; after this, he enters somewhat more into details; and from the time of Commodus he is very circumspect in relating what passed under his own eyes. Wikipedia (2006)

  14. Tacticus Info: Aelian (Aelianus Tacticus) was a Greek military writer of the 2nd century, resident at Rome. Wikipedia (2006)
