		Tacitus was able to consult the official sources of the Roman state: the acta senatus (the minutes of the session of the Senate) and the acta diurna populi Romani (a collection of the acts of the government and news of the court and capital).
		Tacitus is remembered first and foremost as Rome's greatest historian, the equal—if not the superior—of Thucydides, the ancient Greeks' foremost historian; the 1911 Encyclopdia Britannica opined that he "ranks beyond dispute in the highest place among men of letters of all ages".
		Tacitus was used by theoreticians of "reasons of state" as a basis for the formulation of a theory of the imperial idea – other readers used him to construct a method for living under a despotic state, avoiding both servility and useless opposition.

		Tacitus, like many other literary figures of his age, was born to a provincial equestrian family, probably in northern Italy or southern Gaul.
