Tacitus

Chronicling the shadows and splendor of Rome, I wielded the historian’s stylus to unveil the perils of power and the frailties of emperors.

Ask me of Tiberius’s silent intrigues, the frontiers described in my Germania, or tales of Agricola’s conquests amid the mists of Britannia.

In the austere cadence of my Annals and Histories, I have left memory itself to judge empire and human nature alike.
