The Reign of Tiberius, Out of the First Six Annals of Tacitus; by Cornelius Tacitus
"The Reign of Tiberius, Out of the First Six Annals of Tacitus" by Cornelius Tacitus is a historical work written in the early 2nd century AD. This section covers the Roman Empire under Emperor Tiberius from AD 14 to 37, drawn from Tacitus' larger masterwork documenting imperial rule. Through careful portraiture and year-by-year narrative, Tacitus reveals both the peace Augustus secured and the dark reality of life under the Caesars, painting Tiberius
as a once-great man transformed into a tyrant who ruled through fear. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
