Purchase options and add-ons

Tacitus' Annals of Imperial Rome recount the major historical events from the years shortly before the death of Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid intensity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero, and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Annals were written objectively, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperors' excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.

This is a gossipy insiders account, which I found very entertaining. The translation by an English don is quite readable.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Gossip and Scandals of Ancient Rome
Reviewed in the United States on 15 August 2013

This book is a masterpiece. It begins with a battle in what is now Germany. The description of the rugged Roman Legions is shocking and informative. There were often insurrections for more pay. These were usually put down harshly, a method Tacitus agrees will help keep order. In describing the city of Rome and its upper class citizens, I was amazed at the backbiting, lies, executions, and barbarous behavior shown by almost everyone. It is a bitter book and shows how power corrupts absolutely. I admit to having to read it in small doses for the terrain covered is very bleak.
