    These two works span the history of the Roman

    Empire from the death of Augustus in AD 14 to


    the years of the First JewishRoman War in AD
    70. There are substantial lacunae in the surviving
    texts, including a gap in the Annals that is four
    books long.
    Tacitus' other writings
    discuss oratory (in dialogue format, see Dialogus
    de oratoribus), Germania (in De origine et situ
    Germanorum), and the life of his father-inlaw, Agricola, the Roman general responsible for
    much of theRoman conquest of Britain, mainly
    focusing on his campaign in Britannia (De vita et
    moribus Iulii Agricolae).
    Tacitus is considered to be one of the greatest
    Roman historians.[1][2] He lived in what has been
    called the Silver Age of Latin literature. He is
    known for the brevity and compactness of

    his Latin prose, as well as for his penetrating


    insights into the psychology of power politics.

    For all that Tacitus wrote


    was an immediately
    configuration bussines of
    that time.
