The Annals of Imperial Rome(ISBN=9780140440607) 115盘 下载 pdf txt 电子版 mobi snb docx

　　Tacitus' "Annals of Imperial Rome" recount the major

historical events from the years shortly before the death of

Augustus up to the death of Nero in AD 68. With clarity and vivid

intensity he describes the reign of terror under the corrupt

Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero, and the

wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part

of imperial life. Despite his claim that the Annals were written

objectively, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperors'

excesses and fearful for the future of Imperial Rome, while also

filled with a longing for its past glories.
