I loved the Greek ones, but I never really dived into the Romans, only read some extracts. It sounds like Suetonius might be a good place to start. Too bad he lived too early to write about Heliogabalus, but I suppose Nero and Caligula are good substitutes.

Had to check to make sure I was thinking of the right guy; I learned about him as "Elagabalus."

That semester covered most of the emperors from the end of the 3rd century to Charlemagne.
