The great work of the ancient Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus "Annals" is dedicated to the early period of the Roman Empire - the era of the reign of the dynasty of Julius - Claudius. Under the pen of Tacitus, it seems that Rome comes to life during the reign of Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius and Nero. The reader gets the opportunity to look at the portraits of these people in full and the objectivity of historical truth. Also included in the book are the works of Tacitus, called "Small Works."
