Annals 14 is the central book of Tacitus' account of the Principate
of Nero. He marks it out quite clearly as the turning point of
Nero's career. It starts with the murder of Nero's mother, and ends
with the murder of his wife; it tells of the death of Burrus and
the retirement of Seneca, and Nero's consequent release from all
restraint; it contains important sections about military operations
in Armenia and Britian; and it demonstrates Tacitus' presentation
of themes which he considered to be important; treason trials,
moral decay and the position of the Senate. It is a microcosom of
Tacitean technique.The author concentrates on providing historical
explanation and detail for ancient historians. She also underlines
the interrelation of style and content in this work, which is the
method Tacitus uses to reveal his own opinion on events by the way
in which he presents them.
