The Annals of Imperial Rome, by historian and Roman senator
Cornelius Tacitus, chronicles the period between the reigns of
Emperors Tiberius and Nero. Divided into sixteen books, some of
which were partially or entirely lost over time, the Annals narrate
sequentially the various events and deeds of two rulers of the
Roman Empire. Long considered a valuable source, the Annals provide
insight into the workings of the Roman Empire and how its Emperors
interacted with the democratically elected Senate and other arms of
the bureaucracy. Modern scholars of antiquity hold the belief that
Tacitus, as a serving Roman Senator, had access to the Acta Senatus
- a record of lawmaking procedures - as a source for this work. As
such, the reliability of the Annals is generally thought strong
compared against other, more corrupted histories of the Roman
Empire.
