From the death of Augustus in 14 Histories and Annals , greatest works of Publius Cornelius Tacitus, Roman public official, concern the period to Domitian in 96.
Publius Cornelius Tacitus served as a senator of the empire. The major portions examine the reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, Nero and those four emperors, who reigned in the year. They span the empire to the years of the first Jewish war in 70. One enormous four-books long lacuna survives in the texts.
Publius Cornelius Tacitus discusses oratory in dialogue format in Dialogus de oratoribus , Germania in De origine et situ Germanorum , and biographical notes about Gnaeus Julius Agricola, his father-in-law, primarily during his campaign in Britannia (see De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae ).

read for *uni* - and laboriously translated 1.1-15 and 1.31-45.
honestly, i don't really like tacitus, so it has to be a low rating, but norma miller's introduction and notes are really useful, and after reading ellen o'gorman, i do have a bit of admiration for tacitus' manipulation of language.

Lettura resa faticosa dai mille impegni dovuti alla maturità, letto proprio per preparare la tesina.
Libro interessante, anche se sicuramente non di facile lettura, a causa dello stile un po' lento e poco scorrevole (le tre stelle sono dovute a questo).
Da amante della storia romana ho però apprezzato gli avvenimenti raccontati, in particolar modo i ritratti degli imperatori.
