His \u003ci\u003eAnnals\u003c\/i\u003e, written in the early-2nd century CE, described the reigns of the Roman Emperors Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius and Nero, covering the years 14-68 CE. In this selection he provides a memorable vignette of Nero's decadence and cruelty in the failed and then successful murder of his own mother, Agrippina. The drama of Nero's reign must be read in the context of Tacitus' perspective as an author writing within living memory of the events he describes, events which shaped the further development of imperial rule. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https: \/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Storey\u003c\/b\u003e is Head of Classics at Downside School, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 120\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 x 8.45 x 5.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 09, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51750164431136,"sku":"9781350162358","price":32.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/7f4d43e9177770703d34892666362898.webp?v=1779944781","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/tacitus-annals-xiv-a-selection-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
