As a young man he studied rhetoric in preparation for a career in law and politics. In his early 20s he married Julia Agricola, daughter of Gnaeus Julius Agricola . In 81, under Titus , he began his political career as quaestor . He advanced steadily through the cursus honorum , gaining acclaim as a lawyer and orator ; his skill in public speaking gave a marked irony to his cognomen Tacitus silent ).

vitia Main April 29, 2004 On Starting Tacitus I've gotten up through Book III of the Annals of the imperial Roman historian Tacitus . A couple years ago, I read the Dialogus de Oratoribus for my exams, and loved it, and the more secondary material I've read on him, the more I want to know. Composition has completely ignored him, choosing to focus from the Romans on Cicero and on the starry-eyed (and frequently blind to political context) educational-theory idealism of Quintilian . Tacitus is much more dark and spiky and gloomy than either of the two, and has a great deal to say about the uses and abuses of rhetorical and imperial power that Quintilian simply ignored. Still, to cut comp some slack, I think he's largely ignored because he's a historian rather than a rhetorician or an educational theorist. However, he does have a great deal to say by implication about rhetoric, and about the contexts for rhetoric, and what he has to say is worth listening to. First, let me point out that his style is sharp, prickly, and epigrammatic. He piles participles upon participles, and the translation by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb makes it clear to an intermediate-level Latin student like myself that he trains dependent clause after dependent clause. Those who read Latin with considerably more skill than I still call him "crabbed" and "difficult" and "terse" and yet his style, even in the English translation, is unmistakable, and pointedly idiosyncratic. As my good friend the classics scholar and teacher says: "He goes a long way between verbs." I've got a

China India West Asia Greece ... Religion The Web Just H4K H4K Lesson Plans for Teachers Parents' Corner H4K Crafts and Projects Roman Literature: Tacitus Tacitus' work is as well known for his skill in writing history as it is for the value of the facts he presents. His beautiful and efficient phrasing, his ability to bring characters to life with only a few words, his willingness to present the information fairly and in a straightforward way, all have inspired generations of historians to try to imitate him. Tacitus was born about 55 AD . His wealthy father Agricola was a commander of the Roman army in Britain, shortly after Claudius conquered Britain and made it into a Roman province. Probably Tacitus also spent some time in Britain, and perhaps at other army outposts. But most of his time was spent in Rome. He was an active senator, with a successful political career, and a very famous public speaker. His first book, written in 98 AD when Tacitus was in his early 40's, was a biography of his father, called the

90. Master: Tacitus tacitus. These works are today known as the Histories and the Annals. tacitus drew on previous historical works, on public records, and on his own experience. http://cr.middlebury.edu/public/russian/Bulgakov/public_html/Tacitus.html

Tacitus Publius Cornelius Tacitus (c. 56-10?) was a Roman historian, the author of, among other works, two long histories covering the imperial history from AD 14 to 96. These works are today known as the Histories and the Annals . Tacitus drew on previous historical works, on public records, and on his own experience. His accounts show a nostalgia for the earlier days of the free republic and an aversion to autocracy. While the authenticity of some of Tacitus' earlier works is in question, the Annals are generally regarded as both authentic and historically accurate. In spite of the fact that our knowledge of Annals 11-16 relies on one extant manuscript, the authenticity of Book 15 is not in question. Bulgakov's notes contains copies of this passage in French and Latin. (Ianovskaia, Tvorcheskii put' , 251). Tacitus mentions Christ in the context of persecution of the Christians under Nero: Part of this passage (Bk 15) in the Annals (109) reads Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus, and a most mischievous superstition, thus checked for the moment, again broke out not only in Judaea, the first source of the evil, but even in Rome, where all things hideous and shameful from every part of the world find their centre and become popular.

Winterbottom Dialogue on Oratory is a lively conversation of three friendsa lawyer, a poet, and a connoisseur of oratoryabout declining standards in the art of public speaking (a question that also troubled Quintilian). The discussion, relaxed and urbane, is concerned with eloquence in both political and lawcourt speeches. This work by Tacitus has a distinctly Ciceronian air.

Tacitus grew up during a the reign of Nero, and may have been a teenager when Nero died and the Roman empire was plunged into civil war. In his later years he became interested in writing an unbiased account of those times, starting his account just before Tiberius came to the throne. We do not have a complete account of either the Annals or the Histories, but what has been preserved provides an interesting look at Roman life, written by one who lived close to those times.

Dean's World Defending the liberal tradition in history, science, and philosophy. Main .:: Dean's World: Tacitus Is Wrong ::. November 17, 2003 Tacitus Is Wrong Tacitus and Kevin Drum are wrong. How so? No major-party candidate is ever "unelectable" . If you doubt that, just look to Ronald Reagan's candidacy in 1980. The man was the laughingstock of the intelligentsia until, just one week before election day, he roared out of nowhere in the polls and wound up taking Jimmy Carter's Presidency away from him. In 1948, no one thought that obscure nebbish Harry Truman (who never really earned his Presidency) could possibly beat the charismatic Thomas Dewey, especially in a time of military uncertainty and economic doldrums. Let's also not forget those who thought that an effete dilettante like Woodrow Wilson could never beat the hearty and well-liked William Howard Taft. Mind you, I will repeat something I've said before: if Howard Dean were the Democratic nominee, and the Republicans were to dig up the rotting corpse of Thomas Dewey to oppose him, I would vote Dewey. Not because I'm a loyal Republican, either. In fact, I can name issues on which I'm in agreement with Dean, and have no love of Bush. But no matter: on certain fundamentally important issues for me, I'd vote for the dead man over Dean. But what I think doesn't matter. It's what voters think that matters. And the notion that anyone is "unelectable" is foolish, especially if he's won either the Democratic or Republican nomination.

1. Pliny Letter 6.16 My dear Tacitus, You ask me to write you something about the death of my uncle so that the account you transmit to posterity is as reliable as possible. I am grateful to you, for I see that his death will be remembered forever if you treat it [sc. in your Histories]. He perished in a devastation of the loveliest of lands, in a memorable disaster shared by peoples and cities, but this will be a kind of eternal life for him. Although he wrote a great number of enduring works himself, the imperishable nature of your writings will add a great deal to his survival. Happy are they, in my opinion, to whom it is given either to do something worth writing about, or to write something worth reading; most happy, of course, those who do both. With his own books and yours, my uncle will be counted among the latter. It is therefore with great pleasure that I take up, or rather take upon myself the task you have set me. He ordered a boat made ready. He offered me the opportunity of going along, but I preferred to study-he himself happened to have set me a writing exercise. As he was leaving the house he was brought a letter from Tascius' wife Rectina, who was terrified by the looming danger. Her villa lay at the foot of Vesuvius, and there was no way out except by boat. She begged him to get her away. He changed his plans. The expedition that started out as a quest for knowledge now called for courage. He launched the quadriremes and embarked himself, a source of aid for more people than just Rectina, for that delightful shore was a populous one. He hurried to a place from which others were fleeing, and held his course directly into danger. Was he afraid? It seems not, as he kept up a continuous observation of the various movements and shapes of that evil cloud, dictating what he saw.
