First published in 1873, Tacitus by William Bodham Donne is an insightful exploration into the life and works of the renowned Roman historian Tacitus, known for his critical examination of the Roman Empire during its most turbulent years. This detailed study delves into Tacitus's most celebrated works, including the Agricola, Germania, Histories, and Annals, analyzing his approach to documenting imperial politics, military campaigns, and the moral decline of Rome. Donne presents Tacitus not just as a chronicler of events, but as a deeply reflective philosopher, whose writings embody a critical view of power, corruption, and the complexities of human nature. With chapters devoted to key figures like Tiberius, Germanicus, and Sejanus, this volume offers readers a thoughtful look into the mechanisms of imperial governance and the often tragic fates of its key players.; 8vo 8"-9" tall.
