Provenance: Armorial bookplate with little gilded device at tail; provenance of Alexander Thomson of Banchory (1798–1868), Scottish advocate, agriculturalist, antiquary, writer, philanthropist, and traveler. Latin text. Tacitus, sometimes known as Publius Cornelius Tacitus, was a Roman statesman and historian who lived from around AD 56 to 120. Most contemporary historians agree that Tacitus was one of the best Roman historians. His two great works, the Annals (Latin: Annales) and the Histories (Latin: Historiae), of which only fragments survive, study the reigns of Nero, Tiberius, Claudius, and those who ruled during the Year of the Four Emperors (69 AD). These two volumes, however with significant gaps in the extant texts, cover the history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus (14 AD) until the death of Domitian (96 AD).
