Beschreibung

Book XVI of Tacitus'' Annals is the last of the surviving books of the great Roman historian''s monumental account of the reigns of the emperors from Tiberius to Nero. The unfinished book offers a stunning portrait of Nero in his last years, a man now free of the restraining influences of his mother Agrippina and tutor Seneca. Annals XVI presents such unforgettable scenes as the spectacle of Petronius'' suicide, and the mad quest of Nero to find the gold of the Carthaginian queen Dido.

This edition provides a commentary to the entire book, with notes carefully aimed at first-time readers of Tacitus as well as more advanced students. An introduction provides a guide to what we know of Tacitus'' life and work, as well as to the reign of Nero and Tacitus'' depiction of an empire in transition, of a Rome teetering on the verge of chaos and collapse. A full vocabulary at the end of the volume is a vital resource for students preparing this text for class work or assessment.
