About this edition

A complete edition of the surviving works of Publius Cornelius Tacitus (c. AD 56 – c. 120), translated in a single voice with the Latin alongside.

What's here

Tacitus's major surviving works — the Annals and Histories (as they come down to us), the Agricola, the Germania, and the Dialogus de Oratoribus — translated from the Latin and arranged as he wrote them, each with a headnote, an optional Latin-parallel toggle, and a named-entity glossary throughout.

From the Latin

Every translation was produced by reading the Latin text directly, not by copying or adapting any prior edition. The Latin comes from open scholarly sources.

How to use this

The Works index lists every work; open any to read. The chronology places Tacitus's life and works on a timeline. The glossary is the named-entity registry. Search spans the whole corpus.
