FROM THE PUBLISHER - In the surviving book of THE HISTORIES, the great Roman historian, Tacitus, writing some thirty years after the events, reconstructs the anarchy of A.D. 69, that long but single year', during which the Emperors Galba, Otho and Vitellius briefly held power and the Emperor Vespasian established a new dynasty. Though occasionally partisan, or perhaps merely malicious, Tacitus is notable for the general accuracy with which he records a sudden, violent eruption which shook the whole edifice of the Roman Empire. His earlier works, the monographs AGRICOLA and GERAMNIA, and the later ANNALS OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE are also available in the Penguin Classics. inventory #29284 ISBN: 0140441506.
