Book 4 of Tacitus' Annals, described by Sir Ronald Syme as 'the
best that Tacitus ever wrote', covers the years AD 23-28, the
pivotal period in the principate of the emperor Tiberius. Under the
malign influence of Sejanus, the henchman who duped him and was
loaded with honours, Tiberius withdrew to the island of Capri and
was never again seen in Rome, where the treason trials engendered
an atmosphere of terror. The volume presents a new text of Book 4,
as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual,
literary, linguistic and historical matters. The introduction
discusses the relationship between Tacitus and Sallust. The volume
completes the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2
of the Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued
by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996)
and on Books 5-6 by A. J. Woodman (2016).
