Literature in Ancient Rome, in addition to being decorative, was also utilitarian. Among other things, it aimed at reading essential human issues, because it was sometimes the artistic translation of political issues.This politicization of literature is reflected in the works of eminent representatives of Latinity, in this case those of the Latin historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus, who, moreover, was considered in the modern age to be a "master of politics".Indeed, the way in which it deals with issues of power, the dispositions of emperors, denunciations and dissimulations, and the causes of events surprises us when we confront it with the less insightful and penetrating narratives of other Latin historians.Tacitus, heir to the fallen republican nobilitas, seems to wonderfully schematize his vision and reading of the imperial regime in his works.
