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to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content.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!

Autor

Cornelius Tacitus (circa 56-120 AD) was a distinguished Roman historian, orator, and senator whose works have profoundly influenced our understanding of ancient Rome. Born into an equestrian family, Tacitus pursued a career in public service, achieving high-ranking positions, including quaestor, praetor, and consul. His career and political experiences deeply informed his historical writings. Tacitus is best known for his major historical works, The Annals and The Histories, which provide detailed chronicles of the Roman Empire's history. These writings are noted for their incisive analysis of the political intrigues, corruption, and moral decline of the Roman leadership during the early Empire. His narrative style, characterized by a blend of succinct prose and rhetorical flair, offers a critical perspective on imperial rule and its effects on Roman society. In addition to his histories, Tacitus authored Germania, an ethnographic study of the Germanic tribes. This work provides valuable insights into the contrast between Roman and Germanic cultures. Tacitus's contributions to historical writing are celebrated for their depth, accuracy, and literary excellence, securing his place as one of Rome's greatest historians.
