A classical scholar from the University of Oxford, Henry Furneaux
(1829 1900) specialised in the writings of the Roman historian
Tacitus. This work acquired the name of Annals for the style of
history it presents, dealing with events year by year, rather than
thematically. The Annals cover the reigns of four Roman emperors,
beginning after the death of Augustus. The work originally
consisted of sixteen books dealing with a period of 54 years, but
several of them are incomplete or have not survived at all. This
volume contains the text of Books 13 to 16 (the final book being
incomplete), and covers the reign of Nero, a subject which brought
out to the full Tacitus' famous style of condemnation through
cutting irony. This reissue is taken from Pitman's 1904 edition,
abridged 'to serve the needs of students requiring a less copious
and advanced commentary' than that supplied by Furneaux.
