The Annals of Imperial Rome, by historian and Roman senator Cornelius Tacitus, chronicles the period between the reigns of Emperors Tiberius and Nero. Divided into sixteen books, some of which were partially or entirely lost over time, the Annals narrate sequentially the various events and deeds of two rulers of the Roman Empire. Long considered a valuable source, the Annals provide insight into the workings of the Roman Empire and how its Emperors interacted with the democratically elected Senate and other arms of the bureaucracy. Modern scholars of antiquity hold the belief that Tacitus, as a serving Roman Senator, had access to the Acta Senatus - a record of lawmaking procedures - as a source for this work. As such, the reliability of the Annals is generally thought strong compared against other, more corrupted histories of the Roman Empire.

Tacituksen Germania (98 jaa.) on yksi antiikin historiankirjoituksen ehdottomista klassikoista: maantieteellis-kansatieteellinen tutkielma germaaneista. Tacitus tarkastelee teoksessa eri germaaniheimoja, heidän tapojaan ja elinolosuhteita ankarassa pohjoisessa ilmastossa sekä muun muassa naisten asemaa yhteisössä ja sotilaiden urheutta. Tacitukselle germaani-käsite on enemmän maantieteellinen kuin kielellinen, ja germaaneiksi hän kutsuu keskieurooppalaisia maanviljelystä harjoittavia kansoja yleensä. Teoksessaan hän myös kuvaa alkukantaisia fennejä, joiden on eri aikoina ajateltu tarkoittavan niin suomalaisten kuin saamelaistenkin esivanhempia. Runsaan ja ainutlaatuisen sisältönsä ansiosta Germania on yksi aikansa tunnetuimmista teksteistä, ja eri alojen kirjallisuudessa siihen viitataan edelleen paljon. Tyylillisesti sitä pidetään yhtenä latinankielisen taideproosan mestariteoksista. Suomennoksen lisäksi teos sisältää latinankielisen alkuperäistekstin sekä selitysosion.
Tacitus' account of Nero's principate is an extraordinary piece of historical writing. His graphic narrative (including Annals XV) is one of the highlights of the greatest surviving historian of the Roman empire. It describes how the imperial system survived Nero's flamboyant and hedonistic tenure as emperor, and includes many famous passages, from the great fire of Rome in AD 64 to the city-wide party organised by Nero's praetorian prefect, Tigellinus, in Rome. This edition unlocks the difficulties and complexities of this challenging yet popular text for students and instructors alike. It elucidates the historical context of the work and the literary artistry of the author, as well as explaining grammatical difficulties of the Latin for students. It also includes a comprehensive introduction discussing historical, literary and stylistic issues.

Books 5 and 6 of Tacitus' Annals cover the last years of the emperor Tiberius. Although most of Book 5 is lost, Book 6 survives complete and offers a vivid narrative of the increasingly tyrannical princeps, secluded on the island of Capri; the book ends with his death and obituary notice, one of the most celebrated passages of classical literature. This volume presents a new text of Books 5 and 6, restoring the division between them which was proposed by Lipsius, as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual, literary, linguistic and historical matters. An Appendix discusses 'The Tacitean Tiberius'. The volume rounds off the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2 of Tacitus' Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996).
