In the Annals, Tacitus provides a history of imperial Rome during the period from 14 A.D. to 66 A.D., which includes the reigns of emperors Tiberius, Claudius, and Nero. He focuses more on the intrigues, brutality, and corruption of the ruling class and less on the function of government. Tacitus is a good story teller as well as historian, and the Annals provides a view into the machinations of power and ambition in imperial Rome.
