Tacitus' account of Nero's principate is an extraordinary piece of
historical writing. His graphic narrative (including Annals XV) is
one of the highlights of the greatest surviving historian of the
Roman Empire. It describes how the imperial system survived Nero's
flamboyant and hedonistic tenure as emperor, and includes many
famous passages, from the Great Fire of Rome in AD 64 to the
city-wide party organised by Nero's praetorian prefect, Tigellinus,
in Rome. This edition unlocks the difficulties and complexities of
this challenging yet popular text for students and instructors
alike. It elucidates the historical context of the work and the
literary artistry of the author, as well as explaining grammatical
difficulties of the Latin for students. It also includes a
comprehensive introduction discussing historical, literary and
stylistic issues.
