# Tacitus

> The Roman senator who turned imperial history into an art of suspicion. His Annals and Histories dissected emperors with a prose so taut and mordant that every motive looked corrupt, every virtue performative - he wrote power as pathology.

## Bio

Publius Cornelius Tacitus was born around AD 56 and rose through Roman political ranks to senator. His two major works, the Annals and Histories, originally formed a continuous chronicle from Augustus's death in 14 AD through Domitian's reign ending in 96 AD. The surviving portions of the Annals cover Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, and the Year of the Four Emperors in 69 AD. He also wrote a treatise on oratory in dialogue form, an ethnography of Germania, and a biography of his father-in-law Agricola, the general who led much of Rome's conquest of Britain. He died around 120 AD, leaving behind fragments that shaped how every generation since has read imperial ambition.
