Despite Tacitus’s claim that they were written objectively, the Annals 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. n New translation n Includes chronologies, notes, appendices, a genealogy, and an introduction by the translator tACitus (c. 56–120 AD), known in Rome for his impressive oratory, maintained a political career as a senator under Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian. CynthiA dAMon teaches at the University of Pennsylvania.
