Artista drammatico, scienziato naturale e filosofo, Plutarco è ampiamente considerato lo storico più significativo della sua epoca, autore di resoconti taglienti e concisi dei più grandi politici e statisti del periodo classico. Tratto dalle Vite, una serie di biografie che abbracciano l'età greco-romana, questa raccolta illumina il crepuscolo dell'antica Repubblica romana dal 157 al 43 a.C. Che descriva gli aspiranti dittatori Mario e Silla, la battaglia tra Crasso e Spartaco, la morte dell'idealista politico Cratone, il trionfo straziante di Giulio Cesare in Gallia o l'eloquente oratoria di Cicerone, tutti offrono un'affascinante visione di un impero dilaniato dalle divisioni politiche. Profondamente influenti su Shakespeare e molti altri scrittori successivi, continuano ad affascinare oggi con la loro esplorazione della corruzione, della decadenza e della lotta per il potere supremo.

Plutarch (c.50-c.120 AD) was a writer and thinker born into a wealthy, established family of Chaeronea in central Greece. He received the best possible education in rhetoric and philosophy, and traveled to Asia Minor and Egypt. Later, a series of visits to Rome and Italy contributed to his fame, which was given official recognition by the emperors Trajan and Hadrian. Plutarch rendered conscientious service to his province and city (where he continued to live), as well as holding a priesthood at nearby Delphi. His voluminous surviving writings are broadly divided into the "moral"works and the Parallel Lives of outstanding Greek and Roman leaders. The former (Moralia) are a mixture of rhetorical and antiquarian pieces, together with technical and moral philosophy (sometimes in dialogue form). The Lives have been influential from the Renaissance onwards.
