This is the endorsed publication from OCR and Bloomsbury for the
Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Histories Book I
sections 4 (finis Neronis ...) to 7, 12-14, 17-23 and 26, and the
A-Level (Group 2) prescription of Histories Book I sections 27-36,
39-44 and 49, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary,
with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed text
to be read in English for A Level. Histories I starts in AD 69,
during the civil war after the death of Nero. Tacitus describes the
unstable conditions in the Roman Empire, as different generals are
elevated by their soldiers to the position of emperor. In the
prescribed selection, rebellion and violence break out in the city
of Rome, as the Praetorian Guard of the emperor Galba transfer
their support to a controversial younger man, Otho. Tacitus vividly
portrays the elderly Galba's attempts to maintain order and
discipline as power slips from his grasp, while Otho inspires the
disorderly soldiers, keeping control only with difficulty over this
volatile group of men. Resources are available on the Companion
