Description

Survivors of the disaster...told how here the legates fell, there the eagles were taken, where the first wound was dealt upon Varus, and where he found death by the suicidal stroke of his own unhappy hand. The history of the Roman Empire comes alive in The Annals of Tacitus. Cornelius Tacitus (circa A.D. 55-120), a member of the provincial nobility educated at Rome, chronicled the history of the Julian line of emperors from Tiberius to Nero - a pivotal epoch in the history of the Roman Empire. Beginning with the death of Augustus and Rome's first emperors, Tacitus recounts a history full of mutiny, intrigue, and murder and paints a vivid and trenchant portrait of the times and the peoples.
