C. Cornelii Taciti operum vol. 2 - Tacitus 54-120 (Amsterdam Elsevier, 1672)
Mors Neronis & Intitium principatus Galbae (ex Anglico Henrici Savilii) -- Libri quinque historiarum -- De moribus germanorum -- Vita Julii Agricolae -- Dialogus de oratoribus
Annotated and commented edition (by?) of the works by Tacitus, Roman historian and politician
The surviving portions of his two major works—the Annals (Latin: Annales) and the Histories (Latin: Historiae)—examine the reigns of the emperors Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, and those who reigned in the Year of the Four Emperors (69 AD). These two works span the history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus (14 AD) to the death of Domitian (96 AD), although there are substantial lacunae in the surviving texts.
Tacitus's other writings, as are included in this volume, discuss oratory (in dialogue format, see Dialogus de oratoribus), Germania (in De origine et situ Germanorum), and the life of his father-in-law, Agricola (the general responsible for much of the Roman conquest of Britain), mainly focusing on his campaign in Britannia (De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae).
