Synopsis
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. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 1,700 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines. Readers trust the series to provide authoritative texts enhanced by introductions and notes by distinguished scholars and contemporary authors, as well as up-to-date translations by award-winning translators.

    I'm so very thankful to have given this vendor a chance, because my experience with them was altogether positive! Not only did the book I order arrive earlier than expected, but thanks to how well they packaged it, its condition precisely matched the listing and the photos provided. It suffered no damage, and what I received came a great value. I'm so happy to have purchased from them, and I hope you give them the same chance, too!

    Recently read Tacitus' "Annals of Imperial Rome" and anxious to read his "The Histories." Tacitus is an excellent historian of the times of ancient Rome.
