Baltimore, MD Penguin Books, 1964. Paperback First Edition Thus [1964, Second Printing [1968]. First Edition Thus [1977], so stated. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows only minor indications of use: just a hint of wear to the extremities; mild rubbing to the wrapper covers; some barely discernible foxing to the endpapers; some creasing at the backstrip. The text pages are very lightly tanned, due to aging. The binding leans very slightly, but remains perfectly secure; the text is clean. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. Not quite perfect, but remains structurally sound and tightly bound, showing minimal wear. A handsome copy: clean, sturdy and quite presentable, showing only mild wear. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. (7.1 x 4.35 x 0.65 inches). 316 pages. Weight: 8.3 ounces. Penguin Classics Series. Mass Market Paperback.
Synopsis
In AD 68, Nero?s suicide marked the end of the first dynasty of imperial Rome. The following year was one of drama and danger, with four emperors?Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian? emerging in succession. Based on authoritative sources, The Histories vividly recounts the details of the ?long but single year? of revolution that brought the Roman empire to the brink of collapse.
