Autorenporträt
Cornelius Tacitus (circa 56-120 AD) was a distinguished Roman historian, orator, and senator whose works have profoundly influenced our understanding of ancient Rome. Born into an equestrian family, Tacitus pursued a career in public service, achieving high-ranking positions, including quaestor, praetor, and consul. His career and political experiences deeply informed his historical writings. Tacitus is best known for his major historical works, The Annals and The Histories, which provide detailed chronicles of the Roman Empire's history. These writings are noted for their incisive analysis of the political intrigues, corruption, and moral decline of the Roman leadership during the early Empire. His narrative style, characterized by a blend of succinct prose and rhetorical flair, offers a critical perspective on imperial rule and its effects on Roman society. In addition to his histories, Tacitus authored Germania, an ethnographic study of the Germanic tribes. This work provides valuable insights into the contrast between Roman and Germanic cultures. Tacitus's contributions to historical writing are celebrated for their depth, accuracy, and literary excellence, securing his place as one of Rome's greatest historians.
