The Annals is a historical work by the Roman historian Tacitus, written in the early second century AD. The book covers the reigns of the Roman emperors from Tiberius to Nero, providing a detailed account of the political and social events of the time. Tacitus draws on a range of sources, including official records, eyewitness accounts, and his own observations, to create a vivid and compelling narrative of the period. The Annals covers topics such as the rise of the Praetorian Guard, the trial and execution of Jesus, the Great Fire of Rome, and the persecution of Christians under Nero. The book is notable for its critical perspective on the Roman Empire, highlighting the corruption and tyranny of the ruling elite. Despite its focus on a specific historical period, The Annals remains a timeless work of literature, offering insights into the nature of power, politics, and human nature that are still relevant today.And now bills were passed, not only for national objects but for individual cases, and laws were most numerous when the commonwealth was most corrupt.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
