"Tacitus Histories I: A Selection" by Dr. Ellen O'Gorman focuses on the tumultuous period of Roman history following the death of Emperor Nero in AD 68. This selection from Tacitus' work highlights the political chaos, civil wars, and the struggle for power among various claimants to the throne, including Galba, Otho, and Vitellius. Tacitus' incisive commentary offers a vivid portrayal of the Roman elite's ambitions and failures while reflecting on the impact of such upheavals on the broader society. The text remains a crucial examination of power dynamics, moral decline, and the complexities of leadership in ancient Rome. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
