The Histories(ISBN=9780140449648)

　　In AD 68, Nero's suicide marked the end of the first dynasty of imperial Rome. The following year was one of drama and danger, with four emperors-Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian- emerging in succession. Based on authoritative sources, The Histories vividly recounts the details of the "long but single year" of revolution that brought the Roman empire to the brink of collapse.

　　Tacitus (c. 55-120), known in Rome for his impressive oratory, maintained a political career as a senator under Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian.
　　Kenneth Wellesley (d. 1995) was a renowned scholar and translator of ancient Roman texts.
　　Rhiannon Ash is a fellow and tutor in classics at Merton College, Oxford. She has published extensively on the history of ancient Rome.
