In the surviving passages of The Annals of Imperial Rome, his last and finest work, he tells of the legendary reigns of Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero~a crucial period when the Roman Empire was at its zenith and the foundations of modern Europe were being laid. In artistic and historical achievement, it is the best literary source for the events of the early principate that we possess. He displays his art in the gradual piece~by~piece presentation (or occasional full~length portrait) of the dominant and the mighty. Here are indelible and unforgettable pictures of great men as another great man saw them. It also examines those critical moments when one autocrat died and another began to rule, with a large portion of the first book devoted to the psychology of the army which played so sinister a role in the process of Rome's disintegration. The Annals of imperial Rome stands as an historical and literary masterpiece by a humanist~one whose contribution to our western tradition of humanism has been immense and singularly inspiring. PUBLIUS (or Gaius) CORNELIUS TACITUS was born in about A.D. 56 or 57 and probably survived emperor Trajan, who died in A.D. 117. His Roman education, with its elaborate series of exercises in different kinds of public speaking, turned him into an impressive and famous orator, and one of the extant works attributed to him, the Dialogue on Orators, is a discussion of oratorical style. Much of his official career as a senator took place during the black years of Domitian (A.D. 81~96), but he survived to enjoy the consulship in A.D. 97 and, fifteen years later, the governorship of western Anatolia (Asia). His short monographs, the life of Agricola and Germania, appeared within a short time of each other in about A.D. 98. Of his major historical works the Histories told the story of the Roman emperors from Nero's death in A.D. 68 to A.D. 96 (though only 68~69 are preserved); the Annals were intended to cover the years A.D. 14 to 68, a period of great significance, though part of Book V and the whole of Books VII~X are missing and Book XVI breaks off in A.D. 66. Tacitus was friend and teacher of Pliny the Younger. In A.D. 77 he married the daughter of Agricola~Governor in Britain A.D. 78 to 84~but he never mentions her name., Books<
