Histories by Cornelius Tacitus

Translated by Alfred J. Church. A new edition of the famous 100 AD work which describes the one year period of anarchy in Rome from 69 to 70 AD, which saw four emperors—Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian—engage in a murderous civil war for the throne of the Roman Empire.

Included in this fast-paced adventure is Tacitus’s equally famous survey of the Jews, the first written by an official Roman historian, penned as it was just after the Roman-Jewish war of AD 68–73.
