antická literatura v anglickém překladu 'He
was atrocious in his brutality, but his lechery was kept hidden... In
the end, he erupted into an orgy of crime and ignominy alike'
Such
is Tacitus' obituary of Tiberius, and he is no less caustic in his
opinion of the weak and cuckolded Claudius and the 'artist' Nero. The Annals
is a gripping account of the Roman emperors who followed Augustus, the
founder of the imperial system, and of the murders, sycophancy,
plotting, and oppression that marked this period in Rome. Tacitus
provides the earliest and most detailed account of Boudicca's rebellion
in Britain, and his
history also relates the great fire of Rome in the reign of Nero, and
the persecution of the Christians that followed. He deplores the
depravity of the emperors, whose behaviour he sees as proof of the
corrupting force of absolute power.
J.
C. Yardley's translation is vivid and accurate, and Anthony A.
Barrett's introduction and notes provide invaluable historical and
cultural context.
