Tacitus - Annals Book 1

Tacitus – Annals Book 1 (1971)
Edited by N.P. Miller – Methuen’s Classical Texts

If you like your Latin spiced with imperial intrigue, awkward family politics, and the occasional assassination, Tacitus is your man. This 1971 Methuen’s Classical Texts edition of Annals Book 1, edited by N.P. Miller, gives you Tiberius’ reluctant rise to power in the sort of crisp, suspicious prose only Tacitus could manage. Latin text is accompanied by scholarly notes — the sort of notes that assume you already know your subjunctives from your supines, but they’ll still hold your hand when Tacitus gets especially gnarly.

Our copy? Well, this is Crappy Old Books, so expect all the charm of age: slightly yellowed pages, maybe a scuff or two on the cover, and that faint “old library” aroma that either makes you nostalgic or sneezy. Perfect for students, classicists, or anyone who enjoys a front-row seat to the slow-motion train wreck that was the early Roman Empire.

Small hardback with printed fabric cover. Small book in strong condition with some signs of wear.
