Tacitus(1), Roman historian
Cornelius Tacitus, Roman historian, orator, and politician. His dates are usually assumed to be 56–120 ce and he is likely to have come from Narbonese Gaul. He was politically active from the reign of Vespasian to that of Trajan or Hadrian and was consul in 97 ce and proconsular governor of Asia in 112 ce. In the reigns of Nerva and Trajan he turned to historical writing, producing three short works (a biography, an ethnography, and a dialogue on…
Repetition and exemplarity in historical thought
In this chapter I explore some of the various ways in which modernity configures repetition as an improper relation to the past. This exploration mediates the wider question of what modernity wants to do with the past, whether it is to break with it, to sublimate it, or to form a new kind of relation altogether. This leads us to consider the tropes of repetition and of exemplarity as the grounds for an engagement with the past. That is to say, mo…
The Politics of Sallustian Style
The existence of two monographs and only the fragments of his five-book history might suggest to us that Sallust's work only barely clung to survival from antiquity. On the contrary, a glance at commentaries and manuscript traditions from late antiquity onwards shows us that this historian of the late republic was never out of fashion, and influenced our views of Roman history and imperialism perhaps more than any other. The stylistic comments of…
Alternate Empires
O'Gorman analyses the significance of a distinct but "virtual" dynasty, the Pisones, whose presence overarches and intertwines the narratives of Tacitus's Histories and Annals: (a) Germanicus's rival Piso in Annals 1, (b) the Piso who unsuccessfully challenged Nero in Annals 15, (c) Galba's short-lived successor, Piso, in Histories 1, (d) the son of the Neronian challenger, Calpurnius Galerianus, put to death by order of Mucianus (Histories 4.11)…
Decadence and Historical Understanding in Flaubert's Salammbo
This article considers the issue of decadence and historical understanding through a reading of Flaubert's Salammb . To understand any period as "decadent" is to raise fundamental questions about the possibility and worth of historical understanding itself. Flaubert's novel, I argue, constitutes a radical attempt to free the decadent from a history of progress and to allow it to work not only on that history of progress but on the idea of history…
Irony and Misreading in the "Annals" of Tacitus
Irony and Misreading in the Annals of Tacitus
This 2000 book examines Tacitus' Annals as an ironic portrayal of Julio-Claudian Rome, through close analysis of passages in which characters engage in interpretation and misreading. By representing the misreading of signifying systems - such as speech, gesture, writing, social structures and natural phenomena - Tacitus obliquely comments upon the perversion of Rome's republican structure in the new principate. Furthermore, this study argues that…

No Place Like Rome
The Germania , as its full title de origine et situ Germanorum implies, is about Rome. This is clearest from passages couched almost entirely in negative terms, as in chapter 19— ergo saepta pudicitia agunt, nullis spectaculorum illecebris, nullis conviviorum irritationibus corruptae. litterarum secreta viri pariter ac feminae ignorant...nemo enim illic vitia ridet, nee corrumpere et corrumpi saeculum vocatur. (19.1-3) Therefore they live within …
