The Annals of Imperial Rome - (Penguin Classics) by Tacite (Paperback)

The Annals of Imperial Rome by Tacitus is a masterpiece of historical scholarship that recounts the major events of the Roman Empire during the first century A.D.

With vivid intensity, Tacitus describes the reign of terror under Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during Nero's time, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies, and murders that were part of imperial life.

Despite his claim to objectivity, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperors' excesses and filled with a longing for Rome's past glories.

Michael Grant's translation captures the emotional patriotism of Tacitus' moral tone while conveying the lives of the great Emperors who laid the foundations of modern Europe.
