One of the most important historical records from classical antiquity, "The Annals of Imperial Rome" chronicles the history of the Roman Empire from the reign of Tiberius beginning in 14 A.D. to the end of the reign of Nero in 68 A.D. Written by Cornelius Tacitus, a Roman Senator during the second century A.D., it is a detailed first-hand account of the early Roman Empire and an important source for a modern understanding of that time. It is believed that as a Senator, Tacitus had access to the records of the Roman Senate and thus had a very accurate basis for his history. The work begins with the death of Caesar in 14 A.D. and in brutal and unflinching detail Tacitus describes the decadence and corruption of the Roman Emperors, as well as the equally corrupt Senatorial aristocracy, who Tacitus saw as being too servile to the Emperors. The reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero were a fascinating and bloody time, full of violence, treasonous plots, murders, suicides, and uprisings. Included are vivid descriptions of the great fire of Rome, the persecution of the Christians, and the suppression of the revolt in Britain led by Boudicca. Presented in this volume is the classic translation of Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.

Описание: Translated by Alfred J. Church. Regarded as his finest work, Tacitus's Annals remain one of the most important sources of early Roman history. Written while he was a serving senator, and having access to the official senate records, Tacitus provided one of the most complete records of Roman politics, foreign policy, domestic issues-and personal crises of the emperors of Rome from the reign of Tiberius to that of Nero. Encompassing the years AD 14-68, The Annals provide fascinating insights into the post-Augustan Roman state, at a time when it was arguably at its greatest position of power. It includes riveting accounts of the mutinies in Pannonia and Germany; the activities of Germanicus and Agrippina; the epic battle between Arminius (Hermann) and Varus in the forests of Germany; Tacfarinas and the African wars; the uprising in Britannia under Caractacus and his eventual defeat, capture, and pardon; the revolt in Britain under Boudica; the great fire of Rome and Nero's blaming of the Christians for the city's destruction; the Parthian War, and many more history-making events. Along the way, Tacitus provides accompanying insights into the nature of Roman society: the huge number of slaves (and slave uprisings), the censor Claudius and his introduction of new letters for the alphabet, the purpose of history, the origin of writing, Gauls as Roman magistrates and senators, Claudius's speech on the extension of Roman citizenship, ineffectual Senate decrees demanding the expulsion of astrologers from Rome, and a mock naval battle, with real blood, on the Fucine Lake. The Annals originally comprised at least 16 books, but books 7-10 and parts of books 5, 6, 11 and 16 have unfortunately been lost. This edition contains all the original paragraph numbering, and is thus suitable for recreational and academic purposes alike.

Описание: Translated by Alfred J. Church. A new edition of the famous 100 AD work by Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus which describes the one year period of anarchy in Rome from 69 to 70 AD, which saw four emperors-Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian-engage in a murderous civil war for the throne of the Roman Empire. Included in this fast-paced adventure is Tacitus's equally famous survey of the Jews, the first written by an official Roman historian, penned as it was just after the Roman-Jewish war of AD 68-73. The Histories start after the downfall of Nero in favor of the governor of Hispania, General Servius Sulpicius Galba. Galba ruled for only seven months until challenged-and killed-by rebels under the governor of the province of Lusitania, Marcus Salvius Otho, in a bloody fight carried out in the Forum in Rome. Otho's reign lasted only three months. Challenged by Aulus Vitellius, the commander of the legions on the lower Rhine River, Otho's forces were defeated and he committed suicide. Vitellius reigned for eight months until his claim to the throne was challenged by Titus Flavius Caesar Vespasianus (Vespasian), commander of the Roman legions in Egypt and Judaea, who had been declared emperor by his own troops. Defeated in battle, Vitellius abdicated, but was executed in Rome by Vespasian's soldiers. Vespasian went on to finish the war against the Jews (through his son Titus) and was responsible for building the Coliseum in Rome and establishing the Flavian dynasty. Tactitus's work originally consisted of fourteen books, of which only five have survived. Prominent throughout are his insights that Roman society was already overrun with non-Roman slaves, that the best units in the Roman army were Germans, and that the Jews in his words, "regard the rest of mankind with all the hatred of enemies." About the author: Publius Cornelius Tacitus (ca. 56‒117 AD) is regarded as Rome's greatest historian. Born in northern Italy, he became praetor in 88 AD, and a
