The work presents a concise biographical account of a Roman leader, tracing his birth, upbringing, education, and early public honors, then following his interactions with a dominant predecessor and his gradual engagement in civil conflict. It describes his political ascent from youthful priestly office through military and diplomatic efforts, his consolidation of power across territories, and the administrative measures used to stabilize and govern diverse peoples. The narrative emphasizes both martial achievements and the later use of clemency, public benefaction, and institutional reform, while noting monuments, religious honors, and the author's aim to record facts for historical clarity.
