His father was a witness at Cremona to the suicide of Otho, and this man held two sinecures in the Ostian priesthood. This man's work was the primary source for Wilhelm Becker's social history Gallus. He served as controller of the libraries under Hadrian and wrote an encylopedic work called Meadows which is now lost. His second extant work is De viris illustribus, and his most famous work was dedicated to the praetorian prefect Septicius Clarus. He gives the last words of Julius Caesar as "You, too, my son?" in that work, which runs through the time of Domitian. For 10 points, name this author of the Lives of the Twelve Caesars.
