Excerpt from A Critical Study of the Sources of the History of the Emperor Nero
A study of the sources of the history of Nero must therefore in the main be limited to the works of Tacitus, Suetonius, and Dio Cassius.
While it is not altogether futile to attempt to determine what sources these writers again used when composing their works, and to investigate to what extent thev used them,5 it is vastly more profitable to the student of history to carefully compare the records of these writers with each other and with the few other sources that have come down to us. With due consideration of the author's character and life, his method, and the connection in which his statements appear, such a comparison will afford a fairly safe basis for correct judg ments on the conditions and events which they record.
