Tacitus
Publius
(or
Gaius
)
Cornelius Tacitus
(; ; c. AD 56 – after 117) was a
senator
and a
historian
of the
Roman Empire
. The surviving portions of his two major works—the
Annals
and the
Histories
—examine the reigns of the
Roman Emperors
Tiberius
,
Claudius
,
Nero
, and those who reigned in the
Year of the Four Emperors
(AD 69). These two works span the history of the
Roman Empire
from the death of
Augustus
in AD 14 to the years of the
First Jewish–Roman War
in AD 70. There are substantial
lacunae
in the surviving texts, including a gap in the
Annals
that is four books long.
