The Annals is a historical work written by the Roman historian Tacitus, specifically covering the period from the death of Augustus in 14 AD to the death of Nero in 68 AD. The book is divided into sixteen books, with each book covering a different year of Roman history during this period. The Annals is considered one of the most important historical works of the Roman Empire, as it provides a detailed and vivid account of the political, social, and cultural developments of the time. Tacitus was known for his critical and often cynical view of the Roman Empire, and this is reflected in his writing throughout the book. The book covers a range of topics, including the reigns of the emperors Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero, as well as the political intrigues, military campaigns, and cultural developments of the time. It also includes detailed descriptions of major events such as the Great Fire of Rome and the persecution of Christians under Nero. The Annals is written in a highly literary style, with Tacitus using a range of rhetorical devices to convey his message. It is also notable for its use of speeches, which Tacitus often uses to convey the thoughts and motivations of the historical figures he writes about. Overall, The Annals is a fascinating and important historical work that provides a detailed and insightful look into the Roman Empire during a period of significant political and cultural change.And now bills were passed, not only for national objects but for individual cases, and laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
