{"product_id":"9781316756959","title":"The Annals of Tacitus: Books 5-6","description":"Books 5 and 6 of Tacitus' Annals cover the last years of the emperor Tiberius. Although most of Book 5 is lost, Book 6 survives complete and offers a vivid narrative of the increasingly tyrannical princeps, secluded on the island of Capri; the book ends with his death and obituary notice, one of the most celebrated passages of classical literature. The volume presents a new text of Books 5 and 6, restoring the division between them which was proposed by Lipsius, as well as a full commentary on the text, covering textual, literary, linguistic and historical matters. An Appendix discusses 'The Tacitean Tiberius'. The volume rounds off the sequence which began with commentary on Books 1 and 2 of Tacitus' Annals by F. R. D. Goodyear (1972, 1981) and was continued by commentary on Book 3 by A. J. Woodman and R. H. Martin (1996).","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47153434984688,"sku":"9781316756959","price":112.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316756959_p0.jpg?v=1763706933","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316756959","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
