Více o knize

In The Histories, Tacitus brings to life the events of one of the most tumultuous periods of the Roman empire. After the suicide of the Emperor Nero in AD 69, Rome entered into a period of extreme civil unrest - the year of the four emperors. These were Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian, who, one after another, rose to power only to fall victim to plots, military defeats, and assassinations. This compelling narrative is filled with stunning drama and valuable insights into the politics of imperial Rome.
