The Reign Of Tiberius, Out Of The First Six Annals Of Tacitus: With His Account Of Germany, And Life Of Agricola, Translated By Thomas Gordon, Edited By Arthur Galton This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING

" rb gerne", Tacitus' sidste arbejde, d kker perioden fra Augustus Caesars d d i 14 e.v.t. Han skrev mindst seksten b ger, men b gerne 7-10 og dele af b gerne 5, 6, 11 og 16 mangler. Bog 6 slutter med Tiberius' d d og b gerne 7 til 12 d kkede formodentlig Caligulas og Claudius' regeringsperioder. De resterende b ger d kker Neros regeringstid, m ske indtil hans d d i juni 68 eller indtil slutningen af det r for at f forbindelse med "Historieb gerne". Den anden halvdel af bog 16 mangler; den slutter med begivenhederne i 66. Vi ved ikke, om Tacitus afsluttede arbejdet; han d de, f r han kunne afslutte sine planlagte beretninger om Nerva og Trajan, og ingen optegnelser overlevede af arbejdet med Augustus Caesar og begyndelsen af det romerske imperium, som han havde planlagt at afslutte sit arbejde med. " rb gerne" er en af de tidligste sekul re historiske tekster, der n vner Kristus, hvilket Tacitus g r i forbindelse med Neros forf lgelse af de kristne.

Tacitus, Romarrikets främste historiker, skildrade i sitt mästerverk Annales republikens undergång i kejserlig terror och dekadens, från Augustus död till Neros självmord. Hans svartsyn har färgat vår bild av kejsarna men var naturlig för en republikan som värnade ”de sällsynta ögonblick av lycka då man får tänka och säga vad man vill”. För Montaigne var detta en bok ”som inte ska läsas utan studeras” och där, enligt Gibbon, ”varenda mening svämmar över av skarpa iakttagelser och livfulla bilder”.

We live today with the effects of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, so to understand where we are, we must know where we were. Tacitus was an ancient Roman historian that gives us a deep look at one period in Rome's chaotic story. While Tacitus doesn't provide us all we need to know the story of 'us', he does fill in important gaps, which means that Tacitus and his "Histories" is essential reading.
