		M.'s discussion of Tacitus's portrayal of women is also nuanced and fairminded, as are his general remarks on the historian's compelling portrait of Tiberius, the "most complex character in Tacitus, perhaps in all of Latin literature" (25).
		M. is outstanding in showing the relevance of the historian's greatest themes to the experiences of 20th century readers, for "Tacitus above all others probes the individual personality transformed by political absolutism" (165) and the ways in which both rulers and ruled are complicit in the corruption of power (166).
		M. traces in an interesting fashion both the "fl" and the "red" Tacitus, the former emulated by autocrats and courtiers in the 16th and 17th centuries, the latter by revolutionaries and democrats in the 18th.

	Publius Cornelius Tacitus Biography (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Tacitus, like many other literary figures of his age, was born to a provincial equestrian family, probably in northern Italy or southern Gaul.
		Tacitus was primarily concerned with the balance of power between the Roman senate and the Roman Emperors.
		Tacitus' political career was largely spent under the emperor Domitian; his experience of the tyranny, corruption, and decadence prevalent in the era (81—96 AD) may explain his bitter and ironic political analysis.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Tacitus
		Although the Franks, Alamanni, and Longiones posed threats in the north, Tacitus determined that the greater danger lay in the East.
		Tacitus held the consulship at least twice, first in 273 and again in 276.
		The first is the six-month interregnum said to have intervened between the death of Aurelian and Tacitus' accession.

		But the advanced years and failing strength of Tacitus were unable any longer to support the cares and toils so suddenly imposed upon him, and his anxieties were still farther increased by the mutinous spirit of the army, which soon ceased to respect a leader whose bodily and mental energies were fast hurrying to decay.
		Our best authority is the biography of Vopiscus, who, if not actually an eyewitness of what he re counts, had an opportunity of consulting the rich collection of state papers stored up in the Ulpian Library ; and from these he gives several remark able extracts.
		Some facts relative to his biography may be collected from his.own writings and from the letters of his friend, the younger Plinius.

		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.

	Marcus Claudius Tacitus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was born in Interamna, in Italia; Modern historiography[1] rejects the claimed descendance of Tacitus from historian Gaius Cornelius Tacitus as forgery.
		Tacitus was assassinated at Tyana in Cappadocia in June 276.
		Quite the contrary, evidence (from coins, for example) indicates that Tacitus was just another military emperor, whose only distinction from other short-lived emperors of the time was his attempt to cultivate the image of a learned man and his respect for the Senate.

		His resources soon failed, and his position became precarious, and as he also suspected that Claudius had taken some offence, he withdrew into a retired part of Asia, and was as like an exile, as he was afterwards like an emperor.

		Although Tacitus would probably have recognized alternative spellings of the same name or word, that is in itself no argument that he would have used different spelling haphazardly.
		Not suprisingly, the scribe of M displays certain tendencies in his errors, and proposed emendations of M could frequently be defended or rejected on the basis that a similar error has been committed elsewhere in the text, one for which modern editors agree that emendation is necessary.
		Furthermore, the first word on the next line begins with an "m"; such confusion resulting from the ending of a line can be seen at II.5.2, where M reads prosperae/evenissent: the "e" on prosperae is marked with three dots, as to be deleted (not a single dot, as recorded in B.'s app.

	Roman Emperors - DIR Florian
		The Historia Augusta characterizes the succession as a dynastic coup in which the Senate was ignored, but since Florian like Tacitus issued coins inscribed SC, advertising the Senate's authority for minting them, the Historia Augusta's complaint may be factitious.
		Florian's different nomen, Annius rather than Claudius, means that he cannot have been Tacitus's full brother as the Historia Augusta implies; but one passage identifies him as Tacitus's half brother by the same mother, which might be true.
		The Historia Augusta claims that Tacitus had proposed a consulate for Florian but too late in the year; given the unreliability of this life, it is better to trust the inscription.

		Of the former period, the 820 years dating from the founding of the city, many authors have treated; and while they had to record the transactions of the Roman people, they wrote with equal eloquence and freedom.
		Bold before the danger came and timid in the moment of peril, the Helvetii, though at the commencement of the movement they had chosen Claudius Severus for their leader, knew not how to use their arms, to keep their ranks, or to act in concert.

		At once the most brilliant and the most vexatious of Latin historians, Tacitus presents his readers with a peculiar interpretation of city of Rome, the court, and the army, that is as duplicitous as the political order that it mirrors.
		Our strategy of reading Tacitus will be to approach the larger works through the so-called 'minor' works, since each of these presents a whole unit of elements that are central to the creation of Tacitean historiography: rhetoric, biography, and ethnography.
		The standard modern studies of Tacitus by Syme, Martin, Mendell, and Walker, as well as the volumes of ANRW devoted to Tacitean studies, will be placed on reserve in the Seminar Room.

		The senators chose one of their own members, the aged M. Claudius Tacitus (275-276) who was probably a descendant of the famous historian of the same name.
		Tacitus naturally relied on the advice and support of the Senate, but he did attempt to fulfill the military duties of an emperor of this period.
