Dive into The Annals, the final literary masterpiece of Tacitus, as it vividly chronicles the tumultuous era that began with Augustus Caesars death in 14 AD. Though Tacitus envisioned a sweeping narrative spanning at least 16 books, much remains lost to time, including entire sections and parts of key volumes. The story reaches its climax with Tiberiuss death in book 6, while the subsequent books hint at the chaotic reigns of Caligula and Claudius. As the narrative progresses into Neros reign, we are left with tantalizing glimpses that may have concluded with his demise in June 68. Unfortunately, the latter half of book 16 is missing, leaving a void in our understanding of the events of 66 AD. Tacituss untimely passing meant that his reflections on Nerva and Trajan, as well as on Augustus Caesar and the early Empire, remain forever unknown.
