Author Description

This volume in the LACTOR Sourcebooks in Ancient History series offers a generous selection of primary texts on the life of the Roman Empire during the period from Tiberius to Nero (AD 14-68), with an accompanying glossary, thorough notes, Imperial family trees and numerous illustrations of coins. It provides for the needs of students at schools and universities who are studying ancient history in English translation and has been written and reviewed by experienced teachers. The texts selected include extracts from the important literary sources but also numerous inscriptions and coins, many of these being otherwise difficult for students to access.
