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 ).

I read this in the Biblioteca Universale Rizzoli (BUR) edition, Volume Primo (libri I-II), with Latin text facing an Italian translation by Felice Dessi. I find that the genius of an Italian version is often close enough to that of the Latin (which is, after all, in an earlier form of the same language) that it helps me greatly in understanding and bringing to life the original. Modern English translations are often loose, losing nuances of the original and leading the reader astray, while older ones that are more literal are consequently stilted.
