The Tacitus Encyclopedia is the first comprehensive reference work to be published in English on Tacitus, one of our richest sources for the history of the early Roman empire. The two-volume set is designed to complement existing scholarship on Tacitus by providing readers of all levels an approachable means of access to the Annals, Histories, Agricola, Germania, and Dialogue on Orators. This project aims to give standard background information necessary for enhanced appreciation of the people, places, and topics fundamental to Tacitean studies. Entries offer in-depth treatment of the content and contexts of Tacitus’ history and reception from antiquity to the 21st century. Available in print and also online.
