Publisher Description:

The
first book of Tacitus' Annals is concerned with the reign of Tiberius and
with Roman campaigns in Germany. Norma Miller's useful edition, first
published in the Methuen Classics series (1959), then by Bradda Books, by
Blackwell and finally by BCP (1992), remains one of the best approaches for
students making their first acquaintance with the work of Tacitus. The
generously full introduction has sections on the author and his work and the
content of Book I; most useful for the tiro are the sections on Tacitus'
individualities of style and of syntax. There is full annotation, aimed
straightforwardly at basic comprehension of the text, and a vocabulary.
