About this ebook
Tacitus is widely regarded as one of the greatest Roman historians by modern scholars.
The surviving portions of his two major works—the Annals and the Histories - examine the reigns of the emperors Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, and those who reigned in the Year of the Four Emperors (69 AD).
Tacitus' other writings discuss oratory, Germania and the life of his father-in-law, Agricola, the general responsible for much of the Roman conquest of Britain. Tacitus' works are a chief source next to the Bible and the works of Josephus for providing significant and independent extra-Biblical account of the life and crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The pieces included in Points in Time are brief and dreamlike, and entirely effective in painting a historical portrait of Bowles' adopted homeland, Morocco. Although written twenty-five years ago, these short prose poems are surprisingly effective at exploring the divide between Islam and the West, and do so without any overt moralizing on the author's part. As always, Bowles is a prose stylist of the first order, and the crystalline nature of his writing is all the more effective at these shorter lengths, where every word has such a significant footprint.
