Here is a lively new translation of Cornelius Tacitus's timeless history of
three of Rome's most memorable emperors.
Tacitus, who condemns the depravity of these rulers, which he saw as proof of
the corrupting force of absolute power, writes caustically of the brutal and
lecherous Tiberius, the weak and cuckolded Claudius, and "the artist" Nero. In
particular, his gripping account of the bloody reigns of Tiberius and Nero brims
with plots, murder, poisoning, suicide, uprisings, death, and destruction.
The Annals also provides a vivid account of the violent suppression of the
revolt led by Boudicca in Britain, the great fire of Rome under Nero, and the
subsequent bloody persecution of the Christians.
