The ancient Romans did not exactly write the first biographies, but they certainly improved them. Throughout the civilized parts of the ancient world it was common for kings or leaders to have things written to honor them, but these were mostly listings of their deeds. The Romans actually wrote about the men themselves, such as Nepos in his Life of Atticus, Suetonius in his twelve Caesars and Plutarch in his Parallel Lives.
