The Histories
Autor Tacitus Introducere de Rhiannon Ash Traducere de Kenneth Wellesleyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2009
In the surviving books of hisHistoriesthe barrister-historian Tacitus, writing some thirty years after the events he describes, gives us a detailed account based on excellent authorities. In the 'long but single year' of revolution four emperors emerge in succession: Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian - who established the Flavian dynasty.
Rhiannon Ash stays true to the spirit of Wellesley's prose whilst making the translation more accessible to modern readers.
