  • ‘Human’

    Open AccessAlexandra Haase, Co Trubner et al.ARTICLEDialectologia2022

    For the Indo-European languages Pokorny's etymon 700, manu-s and mon-us, comprises as meanings 'man' and 'human being'. In the following article we will show that this etymon is not only the root for a variety of words in the Indo-European languages, but also has equivalent root forms in other language families, among them reconstructed roots in the Semitic, Uralic, Dravidian, Afroasiatic, Caucasian, and Sino-Tibetan language family. In these lan…

  • The Annals of Tacitus

    Open AccessA J Woodman, Tacitus TacitusBOOKAnnals of Tacitus2018

    Book 4 of Tacitus' Annals, described by Sir Ronald Syme as 'the best that Tacitus ever wrote', covers the years AD 23–28, the pivotal period in the principate of the emperor Tiberius. Under the malign influence of Sejanus, the henchman who duped him and was loaded with honours, Tiberius withdrew to the island of Capri and was never again seen in Rome, where the treason trials engendered an atmosphere of terror. The volume presents a new text of B…

  • The Annals of Tacitus

    Open AccessTacitus Tacitus, A J WoodmanBOOKAnnals of Tacitus2016

    Books 5 and 6 of Tacitus' Annals cover the last years of the emperor Tiberius. Although most of Book 5 is lost, Book 6 survives complete and offers a vivid narrative of the increasingly tyrannical princeps, secluded on the island of Capri; the book ends with his death and obituary notice, one of the most celebrated passages of classical literature. The volume presents a new text of Books 5 and 6, restoring the division between them which was prop…

  • Tacitus

    Tacitus Tacitus, Christina S Kraus et al.BOOKTacitus2014

    The first work of any great historian has always commanded attention, and Tacitus was ancient Rome's very greatest historian. His biography of his father-in-law, governor of Britain in the years AD 77–84, is a literary masterpiece: it combines penetrating political history with gripping military narrative and throughout poses the question (still very much alive today) of how one should live one's life under a tyranny. This is the first commentary…

  • Annalen

    Tacitus Tacitus, Carl Hoffmann et al.BOOKAnnalen2011

    Der Niedergang der römischen Monarchie Die Annalen, das letzte und bedeutendste Werk des P. Cornelius Tacitus, schildern den Niedergang des Prinzipats, der von Augustus begründeten Form der römischen Monarchie. Mit scharfem Blick erfasst der Autor die Verfallserscheinungen des Regierungssystems und geißelt die Sitten seines Volkes, dem die Kaiser durch Zügellosigkeit und Gleichgültigkeit Vorschub leisteten.

  • Cornelii Taciti Annalium Libri XIII-XVI

    Open AccessTacitus Tacitus, Henry Furneaux et al.BOOKCornelii Taciti Annalium Libri…2011

    A classical scholar from the University of Oxford, Henry Furneaux (1829–1900) specialised in the writings of the Roman historian Tacitus. This work acquired the name of Annals for the style of history it presents, dealing with events year by year, rather than thematically. The Annals cover the reigns of four Roman emperors, beginning after the death of Augustus. The work originally consisted of sixteen books dealing with a period of 54 years, but…
