There are not many men who would give their wives a better character than these two emperors. Capitolinus wrote in the time of Diocletian.

Brevity and compression seem to have been his aim, because the compilation was intended to be sent abroad for the instruction of a female relative of high rank in Germany (22), at her request.

In subsequent editions, the commentary was dropped, and the People have since continued to read in seriousness, doing for the Author what he had not courage openly to venture ...
