The historians who used the word lives in the title of one of their books were Suetonius, a Roman, and Plutarch, a Greek who became a Roman citizen. Such titles were for books with biographies. Plutarch wrote the "Lives of the Roman emperors", which had biographies of the first Roman emperors, from Augustus to Vitellius, and "Parallel Lives" a series of biographies of famous Greeks and Romans. The surviving parts of this work have 23 pairs of biographies (with a Greek paired with a Roman) and four unpaired lives. Suetonius wrote "De vita Caesarum (About the Life of the Caesars" with a chapter on the lives Caesar and of each of the first eleven Roman emperors. Plutarch lived from c. 46 to 120 and wrote most of his work in the late first century. Suetonius lived from c. 69 to c. 140 and wrote De vita Caesarum in 121.
