# Loeb Classical Library publishes Suetonius’s Caligula in facing Latin-English Date: 1913 ## The fact Rolfe’s Loeb Suetonius volume made the [Caligula](/people/caligula) vita a classroom object. The book is a completed teaching instrument. It is not a rehabilitation and not an autograph. ## Context Access to a hostile source is still access. Students can now check the jokes against Dio and Philo. Print also froze Rolfe’s textual choices later reused by LacusCurtius and Perseus. Caligula is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute. ## Evidence and sources Official edition, museum, or agency page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument. Official or archival record: Suetonius, Loeb vol. 1 (Rolfe) scan (https://archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.13483; Internet Archive / Loeb Classical Library). ## Significance A 1913 Loeb is a knowledge-access gain. It does not make the anecdotes true. A 1913 Loeb is a knowledge-access gain. It does not make the anecdotes true. ## What is established and what is not Established as a dated public record of this instrument. What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions. The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit. ## People - Caligula: https://factrail.ai/people/caligula ## Drivers - Digital Learning Access: https://factrail.ai/drivers/edu-digital-learning-access ## Sources - https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Suet.+Cal. - https://archive.org/details/in.gov.ignca.13483 ## Methodology https://factrail.ai/methodology Canonical: https://factrail.ai/facts/cal-loeb-suetonius-access
