	Annals (Tacitus) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The title Annals was probably not given by Tacitus, but derives from the fact that he treated this history in a year-by-year form.
		The Annals was Tacitus' final work, covering the period from the death of Augustus Caesar in the year 14.
		Tacitus uses the tragic components of his history to dive into the spirits of the characters, aiming to bring to light their passions and ambiguities.

		In the Annals of Tacitus the Princeps or Emperor is the centre about which events are grouped, a mode of treating history which "cannot be entirely thrown aside in a monarchical system, but which in feeble hands merges the history of a people in the personality of their ruler.
		Tacitus wrote the Histories as a contemporary ; the Annals as not a contemporary.
		Tacitus has furnished some materials for it ; but his method excluded a large and comprehensive view of the period which is comprised within his Annals.

	Tacitus and Tiberius
		Tacitus' description of the maiestas trial of Falanius and Rubrius also proves Tiberius' clear-minded impartiality (I.72), while Tiberius' advice to the public after the death of Germanicus that "Princes were mortal; the State was everlasting" (III.6), contrary to illustrating his jealousy of Germanicus, shows his practical-mindedness, or even his dignitas.
		Tacitus report that he led the armies well, that he balanced the imperial budget, that he chose good administrators, that (except in a handful of treason trials) he enforced the laws, and that he did not raise taxes.
		Indeed, Tacitus records fewer than a hundred treason trials in the twenty-three years of Tiberius' reign, and what is referred to at the end of Tiberius' reign as continual slaughter was actually a handful of judicial executions and seven suicides in three years (6).

		Tacitus would not have had permission to consult the imperial archives, and even if he did, it was not his regular practice to consult written documents.
		Tacitus was well-respected, a man who "won renown quickly," and "seemed of all the eminent men then active the most worthy of imitation." His reputation was such that in a letter of recommendation for a particular young man, Pliny indicates that being a friend of Tacitus is considered to be a sign of high quality.
		Tacitus is content to use the rumors to besmirch by association Livia and Tiberius who, whatever their failings, never displayed the deranged malice of an Agrippina and a Nero.

		The early stages of this career cannot be followed in detail, but Tacitus reached the praetorship in 88, by which time he had also become a member of one of the important priestly colleges which controlled the official religion of the Roman state.
		For the next 4 years Tacitus was away from Rome, as he had been appointed by Domitian to a post in the imperial administration, either the command of a legion or the governorship of one of the less important provinces, but we do not know exactly what the post was or where he held it.
		Meanwhile, in the intervals of his official career Tacitus had spent much time in the study and practice of rhetoric, and by the time of his consulship he had won a reputation as one of the leading forensic orators of his generation.

	Tacitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tacitus used 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' writings are known for their deep-cutting and dense prose, seldom glossy, in contrast to the more placable style of some of his contemporaries, like Plutarch.
		Tacitus' political career was largely spent under the emperor Domitian; his experience of the tyranny, corruption, and decadence prevalent in the era (81–96) may explain his bitter and ironic political analysis.

	Cry Freedom: Tacitus Annals 4.32-35
		Tacitus' stress on the apparent unattractiveness of his material itself contrasts (as he points out) with normal expectations that historiography should be about big things, should bring the historian glory, and should offer the reader excitement, variety and pleasure.
		We resume explication of Tacitus' argument Tacitus' stress in 33.3 on the tediousness of his themes cannot be confined to the literary and aesthetic: that tediousness itself signifies political repression and powerfully underscores - in Hannah Arendt's memorable phrase - the banality of evil.
		Of course, even as Tacitus claims the right to dispense the judgement of history, thereby seemingly transcending the grim political realities illustrated by the narrative of the trial and death of Theramenes, he simultaneously implies that he himself is 'on trial': the historian's task too is a perilous one - a politically perilous one.

		Cornelius Tacitus brilliantly chronicles the moral decline and rampant civil unrest in the Roman Empire in a period when the earliest foundations of modern Europe were being laid.
		(On the subject of reproach, Tacitus himself wrote: "To show resentment at a reproach is to acknowledge that one may have had it coming.") In fact, I think very highly of the incomparable Roman historian.
		Tacitus' renown -- looking at his style rather than his content -- comes from his acerbic wit, pithy remarks and lucid analytical sentences.

		Even though the passage is authentic to Tacitus, it might be argued that Tacitus received his information about the origin of the Christian name from Christians themselves.
		On (5), it may be suggested that Tacitus didn't expend considerable effort but rather had a servant find what could be found on the Christian sect (not necessarily on Jesus), which would have included the report on their classification as a religio prava.
		On (3), Tacitus is giving merely the briefest account of the origin of the name Christian and so cannot be expected to mention such Christian doctrines.

		Tacitus is considered the most reliable scholar of his time.
		Tacitus could have gotten his information from the work of historians whom he trusted, and whose work is now lost to us.
		The fact that Tacitus never refers to "Jesus", but only to "Christus" ("anointed one") suggests that he did not use archival sources, in which this title is unlikely to have been used, but rather derived his information directly or indirectly from Christians.
