With clarity and vivid intensity Tacitus describes the reign of terror under the corrupt Tiberius, the great fire of Rome during the time of Nero and the wars, poisonings, scandals, conspiracies and murders that were part of imperial life. Despite his claim that the \u003ci\u003eAnnals\u003c\/i\u003e were written objectively, Tacitus' account is sharply critical of the emperors' excesses and fearful for the future of imperial Rome, while also filled with a longing for its past glories.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48144998236318,"sku":"UBD-9780140455649","price":27.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140455649.jpg?v=1786878128","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140455649","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
