Suetonius was a Roman historian, famous for his book about the first Roman emperors "Twelve Ceasars". Very readable even now, it is still in print and you can order it (in English) in any bookstore.

Tacitus and Suetonius offer differing evaluations of Octavian (Augustus) primarily in their portrayal of his character and leadership. Tacitus tends to emphasize the darker aspects of power, suggesting that Augustus's reign involved manipulation and a loss of republican values, reflecting a more critical stance. In contrast, Suetonius presents a more favorable view, focusing on Augustus's achievements and reforms, portraying him as a capable and benevolent ruler.

Caesar was cremated shortly thereafter according to Suetonius.
