"Annals" by Tacitus
羅馬史家塔西佗(Tacitus)曾稱日耳曼人議事時都喝酒,以免有人撒謊。
"The more numerous the laws, the more corrupt the government."
--from "Annals" by Tacitus
"No doubt, there was peace after all this, but it was a peace stained with blood."
--from ANNALS by Tacitus
The complete historical works of the greatest chronicler of the Roman Empire in a wholly revised and updated translation. A brilliant narrator and a master stylist, Tacitus served as administrator and senator, a career that gave him an intimate view of the empire at its highest levels, and of the dramatic, violent, and often bloody events of the first century. In the Annals, he writes about Augustus Caesar’s death and observes the inner workings of the courts of the emperors Tiberius and Nero. In the Histories, he describes an empire in tumult, four emperors reigning in one year, each overthrown by the next. The Agricola, a biography of Tacitus’s father-in-law, Julius Agricola—the most celebrated governor of Roman Britain—is the first detailed account of the island that would eventually rule over a quarter of the earth. And in the Germania, the famed warrior-barbarians of ancient Germany come richly to life.
