Suetonius' lives of Caligula and Claudius begin with laudatory and long accounts of their fathers, implicitly contrasting them to their bad and flawed sons, respectively. Readers will have concluded that these fathers would have made better emperors than their sons— and that sons are not necessarily good successors to good fathers
