His \u003ci\u003eAnnals\u003c\/i\u003e, written in the early-2nd century CE, described the reigns of the Roman Emperors Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius and Nero, covering the years 14-68 CE. In this selection he provides a memorable vignette of Nero's decadence and cruelty in the failed and then successful murder of his own mother, Agrippina. The drama of Nero's reign must be read in the context of Tacitus' perspective as an author writing within living memory of the events he describes, events which shaped the further development of imperial rule. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupporting resources are available on the Companion Website: https: \/\/www.bloomsbury.pub\/OCR-editions-2024-2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Storey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350162353\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350162358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/09\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.43w x 1.00d","brand":"John Storey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077679444223,"sku":"9781350162358","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_532c7153-08c0-42d6-aefc-2640935d67af.jpg?v=1685471241","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/tacitus-annals-xiv-john-storey-9781350162358","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
