		A son of this Cornelius Tacitus is cited by Pliny the Elder as an example of abnormally rapid growth and aging (N.H. http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/L/Roman/Texts/Pliny_the_Elder/7*.html)), implying an early death.
		Tacitus' writings are known for their instantly deep-cutting and dense prose, seldomly glossy, in contrast with the more placable style of some of his contemporaries, like Plutarch.
		Tacitus' historical style combines various approaches to history into a method of his own (owing some debt to Sallust): seamlessly blending straightforward descriptions of events, pointed moral lessons, and tightly-focused dramatic accounts, his history writing contains deep, and often pessimistic, insights into the workings of the human mind and the nature of power.

	I, Claudius - Open Encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I, Claudius is a novel by Robert Graves, first published in 1934, dealing sympathetically with the life of the Roman Emperor Claudius and the history of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty and Roman Empire, from Julius Caesar's assassination in 44 BC to Caligula's assassination in 41 AD.
		The message of the story appears to concern the relationship between liberty (as demonstrated by the Roman Republic, and the dedication to its ideals shown by Augustus and young Claudius) and stability (as demonstrated by Empress Livia, Herod, and the elder Claudius).
		Likewise, when the similarly-minded Claudius becomes emperor, he is convinced by Empress Messalina and Herod to preserve his powers, for much the same reason.
