Extractions: (Source unknown) Tacitus was born about A.D. 56 and probably died some time after A.D. 117. We don't know a lot about him. Though he wrote quite a bit, he was very "taciturn" when it came to writing about himself. His birthplace may have been somewhere in the vicinity of Massilia (modern Marseilles, in southern France). It was an old Greek city-colony, a centre of sophisticated Greek culture and philosophy in a Roman empire that thought such things effeminate and unworthy. Tacitus was an aristocrat through and through, the son of a member of the privileged Roman "knight" class. He eventually became a Roman senator. This position brought him great wealth and power. Despite his social advantages and very high rank, he complained bitterly about the tyrany of the elitist, autocratic political system and the lack of political and personal freedom in the dictatorship of the Empire. Like many people in such situations, however, he led a very successful public career. This could have been the result of several factors. Perhaps he could deal with the obvious hypocrisy of his position. Perhaps he was personally ambitious or cynical. He may have had a sense of duty to his state, his people or to the idealism of Rome and its "destiny". It may have been a combination of all these.

Extractions: Tacitus for Kids Tacitus ROMAN LITERATURE LIVY OVID PLAUTUS ... VIRGIL 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 Agricola . In it, Tacitus discusses the problems of taking over a new province. How do you respect the rights of the conquered? Should they just abandon their own culture and become Roman? Do the benefits of being Roman - education, nice clothes , job opportunities - make up for the loss of freedom, and the humiliation of being conquered?
