Whay about "The Twelve Caesars" by Suetonius?
He wants to brush up his history, all of these recommendations are bad for this. I'm not saying they are bad works but you are all suggestion things that are incredibly unreliable and contain huge amounts of falsity.

Who cares? All other sources are just speculating off of the ones we posted.

Well asides from the fact that this statement is just wrong the person who wants the most accurate view of the Romans would care.
I have a 12-volumes leather bound set on Roman emperors that is really, really great. In-text Latin and Ancient Greek quotes, dozens of pages of references.
