Tacitus

Publius (or Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus was a Roman senator and historian who lived from around AD 56 to 120.

He is renowned for his major works, the Annals and the Histories, which chronicle the reigns of Roman emperors from Tiberius to the Year of the Four Emperors.

Tacitus also wrote about oratory, Germania, and his father-in-law Agricola's campaign in Britannia.

His writing style, characterized by conciseness and insight, places him among the notable authors of the Silver Age of Latin literature.

Despite significant gaps in the surviving texts, Tacitus's works remain crucial sources for understanding the Roman Empire during the first century AD.
