Description

Description

A detailed first-hand account of the early Roman Empire, "The Annals" chronicles the history of the Roman Empire from 14 A.D. to 68 A.D. Written by Cornelius Tacitus, a Roman Senator, it provides a unique perspective on the Roman Emperors and the Senatorial aristocracy. The work describes the decadence and corruption of the Roman rulers, as well as the violence and treasonous plots that marked the reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero. The Annals includes vivid descriptions of significant events, such as the great fire of Rome and the persecution of the Christians, as well as the suppression of the revolt in Britain led by Boudicca. This edition features a classic translation by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb, printed on premium acid-free paper.
