The Annals: The Reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero

The Annals: The Reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero

Oxford World’s Classics

The Annals is a gripping account of the Roman emperors Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero and the brutality that marked their reigns. Tacitus deplores their depravity, proof of the corrupting force of absolute power. J.C. Yardley’s vivid and accurate translation is complemented by a thorough introduction and notes.
