Synopsis
Books V-VI of the Annals covered Tiberius' reign from AD29-37. Most of Book V is lost, including the account of the sensational events leading to the execution of Sejanus. However, Book VI narrates fascinating incidents at Rome and on Capri, where Tiberius had retired in AD27. Latin text with facing translation, introduction and commentary., Books V and VI of Tacitus' Annals , when complete, carried the narrative of Tiberius' reign from AD 29 to 37. Unfortunately most of Book V has been lost, and, with it, Tacitus' account of the sensational events that led to the execution on 18 October in AD 31 of Aelius Sejanus. Nevertheless, Annals VI contains a fascinating variety of incidents both at Rome and on Capri, to which Tiberius had retired permanently in AD 27. But, in addition to all the material that portrays Tiberius in a highly unfavourable light, there is much in Annals VI that shows a very different side to his character. Whereas Suetonius talks of an elderly emperor who discarded all interest in public affairs from the time he retired to Capri, Tacitus portrays a more complex character - one in which cruelty and vice stand alongside a deep concern for Rome's prosperity at home and abroad. Annals VI provides an absorbing account of the varied aspects of the behaviours and personality of Rome's most enigmatic emperor during the final years of his life. Latin text with facing-page English translation, introduction and commentary., Books V and VI of Tacitus' Annals, when complete, carried the narrative of Tiberius' reign from A.D. 29 to 37. Unfortunately most of Book V has been lost, but Annals VI, which resumes the narrative 2 weeks after the execution of Sejanus, contains a fascinating variety of incidents.
