The histories of the Roman senator Cornelius Tacitus constitute the most influential discussion of tyranny, political behaviour and public morality of antiquity. For centuries these portraits of courageous martyrs to freedom, of paranoid tyrants and of sycophantic flatterers and informers shaped modern political attitudes. Ronald Mellor provides a compelling analysis of the ideas of the greatest historian of evil in the western intellectual tradition. He conveys the full intellectual, literary and political force of Tacitus, and demonstrates the critical significance of Tacitus' central concerns - freedom and tyranny, integrity and corruption - for the modern political agenda.
