The first in a four-volume edition of Tacitus Annals 1-6. The
Annals are Tacitus' brilliant account of Roman imperial history
from the death of Augustus to the death of Nero. Books 1-6 describe
the reign of Tiberius. Professor Goodyear's introduction to the
series deals concisely with the background to the Annals. He
outlines the history of Tacitean scholarship to the present day and
shows how Tacitus' historical judgements were sometimes distorted
by his preoccupations with style and with the moral function of
historical writing. The commentary attends equally to literary,
historical and textual questions. There are several appendixes on
topics of more specialized interest.
