Description
Cayo Cornelio Tácito's Historias is a collection of writings that offer valuable insights into one of the most pivotal years in Roman history: 69 AD, the year of the four emperators. This fragmentary work provides our primary source for understanding the first great crisis of the Roman Empire.
Beyond its historical significance, Historias showcases Tácito's developing skills as a psychologist and his characteristic depth of thought, qualities that would come to define his most famous works, the Anales. As such, this collection is not only an important historical document but also a significant work of literary analysis.
Published in 1990, Historias remains a crucial source for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of ancient Rome and the evolution of its greatest writers.
