Description & Specifications

P. Cornelius Tacitus, the most prominent of Roman historians, was born between the years 50 and 60 AD and died between 115 and 117 AD. He was educated in rhetorical schools and initially gained recognition as an orator. He held various political offices, including praetor, general, consul, and more.

Despite the rhetorical nature of his works, he seeks to refer to sources, both oral and written, in the exploration of truth, as well as to the writings of earlier historians. He searches for the causas and rationes, that is, the manifest and hidden causes of events, and moreover, he is an unsurpassed psychologist.

His works:

1. Dialogue on Orators (Dialogus de oratoribus) in which he attempts to explain the reasons for the decline of rhetoric during the imperial times.

2. Agricola (Agricola or De vita et moribus Iullii Agricolae), a laudatory biography with many historical details about Britain, where Agricola was sent to conquer.

3. Germania (Germania), a geographical and ethnographic description of the country and its inhabitants.

4. Histories (Historiae) in 14 books, of which the first 5 are preserved. They include the events of the years 69-96 AD. The work was written during the reign of Trajan (98-117 AD).

5. Annals (Annales) in 16 books. This work is also titled Ab excessu divi Augusti libri. It covers the chronological history of Rome from the death of Augustus (14 AD) to the death of Nero (68 AD).
