Extractions: Life of Cnaeus Julius Agricola, c.98 CE Translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb 2. We have only to read that the panegyrics pronounced by Arulenus Rusticus on Paetus Thrasea, and by Herennius Senecio on Priscus Helvidius, were made capital crimes, that not only their persons but their very books were objects of rage, and that the triumvirs were commissioned to burn in the forum those works of splendid genius. They fancied, forsooth, that in that fire the voice of the Roman people, the freedom of the Senate, and the conscience of the human race were perishing, while at the same time they banished the teachers of philosophy, and exiled every noble pursuit, that nothing good might anywhere confront them. Certainly we showed a magnificent example of patience; as a former age had witnessed the extreme of liberty, so we witnessed the extreme of servitude, when the informer robbed us of the interchanges of speech, and hearing. We should have lost memory as well as voice, had it been as easy to forget as to keep silence. 8. Britain was then under Vettius Bolanus, who governed more mildly than suited so turbulent a province. Agricola moderated his energy and restrained his ardour, that he might not grow too important, for he had learnt to obey, and understood well how to combine expediency with honour. Soon afterwards Britain received for its governor a man of consular rank, Petilius Cerialis. Agricola's merits had now room for display. Cerialis let him share at first indeed only the toils and dangers, but before long the glory of war, often by way of trial putting him in command of part of the army, and sometimes, on the strength of the result, of larger forces. Never to enhance his own renown did Agricola boast of his exploits; he always referred his success, as though he were but an instrument, to his general and director. Thus by his valour in obeying orders and by his modesty of speech he escaped jealousy without losing distinction.

Extractions: TACITUS FRAGMENT 2: THE ANTI-ROMAN MOVEMENT OF THE CHRISTIANI AND THE NAZOREANS Eric Laupot Vigiliae Christianae 54, no. 3 (2000) 233-47 ABSTRACT There is little consensus as to the historical nature of the sect identified by Tacitus in Annales 15.44 as the Christiani. Nor is there any firm consensus on the authenticity and historicity of all of that fragment known as Tacitus fragment 2 (= Sulpicius Severus Chronica 2.30.6-7), whose references to Christiani are widely suspected of being later Christian interpolations. Much of this fragment is thought, nevertheless, to be from the lost portion of the fifth book of Tacitus Historiae A solution can be found to both of these problems by adducing from fragment 2 new evidence indicating that this fragment indeed represents a primary historical source. This new evidence takes the form of the discovery of a significant statistical relationship among the following three words: (1) The metaphor stirps (branch, descendants) used to describe the Christiani in fragment 2, (2) and (3)

Tacitus
Marcus Claudius tacitus (AD ca. 200 AD 276). The origins of Marcus Claudiustacitus are disputed. In fact not much is known about him at all.
http://www.roman-empire.net/decline/tacitus.html

Extractions: Most likely he was an old military general, having risen through the ranks to wealth and status, and having finally held the consulship in AD 273. At the death of Aurelian he was not with the emperor and his army in Thrace, but staying at his house at Baiae in Campania, perhaps having retired from service. How the choice for emperor fell on Tacitus is unknown. There is some suggestion that the army indeed left it to the senate to choose the emperor after the death of Aurelian, but this indeed seems highly doubtful. Why the army's men didn't elect anyone among those leaders who were at the time with Aurelian's campaign force in Thrace is not know. Instead they chose a man hundreds of miles away, residing at his country house.

Extractions: Virtual Catalog of Roman Coins An Online Encyclopedia of Roman Emperors DIR Atlas Robin Mc Mahon New York University Full name, Marcus Claudius Tacitus; name as Emperor, Imperator Caesar Marcus Claudius Tacitus Pius Felix Invictus Augustus We have no reliable information on the earlier career of the Emperor Tacitus. All that is known with any degree of certainty is that in 273 he was consul along with Julius Placidianus. All the statements in the Historia Augusta regarding Tacitus' earlier career, including the claim he was related to the historian Tacitus, have been rejected by historians as fictitious. The most reliable sources for Tacitus' reign, Zosimus and Zonaras, state that he was chosen Emperor by the army following the assassination of Aurelian in the fall of 275, most likely in November. At the time of his elevation he was in Interamna (modern Terni, about 60 miles north of Rome.) From there he made his way to Rome where he was confirmed as Emperor by the Senate. Tradition has it that he was 75 years old at the time, but there is no way to confirm this.

http://www.courses.drew.edu/sp2000/BIBST189.001/Tacitus.html

Extractions: Return to Home Page This passage is often cited by Christian scholars as an early witness by a Roman historian to the presence of the Christian movement, as evidence for the existence of a historical Jesus, and as evidence for the persecution of Christians by the Romans (see E. Pagels, Gnostic Gospels , pp. 70f). It is a text, therefore, that requires careful and critical examination. On July, 19th, 64 CE, a fire started in Rome and burned for nine days, finally destroying or damaging almost three-quarters of the city, including numerous public buildings. Rumors spread that the fire had been planned by Nero. And according to Tacitus, to put an end to such rumors, Nero creatred a diversion by torturing and executing Christians. ergo abolendo rumori Nero subdidit reos. et quaesitissimis poenis adfecit quos per flagitia invisos vulgus christianos appellabat. Auctor nominis eius christus. Tyberio imperitante per procuratorem pontium pilatum supplicio adfectus erat. repressaque in praesens exitiabilis superstitio rursum erumpebat. non modo per iudaeam originem eius mali. sed per urbem etiam quo cuncta undique atrocia aut pudenda confluunt celebranturque .,. Igitur primum correpti qui fatebantur. deinde indicio eorum multitudo ingens. haud proinde in crimine incendii. quam odio humani generis coniuncti sunt .,. "Therefore, to put an end to the rumor Nero created a diversion and subjected to the most extra-ordinary tortures those hated for their abominations by the common people called Christians. The originator of this name (was) Christ, who, during the reign of Tiberius had been executed by sentence of the procurator Pontinus Pilate. Repressed for the time being, the deadly superstition broke out again not only in Judea, the original source of the evil, but also in the city (Rome), where all things horrible or shameful in the world collect and become popular. So an arrest was made of all who confessed; then on the basis of their information, an immense multitude was convicted, not so much of the crime of arson as for hatred of the human race."

http://www.tektonics.org/tekton_01_01_01_TC.html

Extractions: Tacitus was a Roman historian writing early in the 2nd century A.D. His Annals provide us with a single reference to Jesus of considerable value. Rather frustratingly, much of his work has been lost, including a work which covers the years 29-32, where the trial of Jesus would have been had he recorded it. [Meie.MarJ, 89] Here is a full quote of the cite of our concern, from Annals 15.44. Jesus and the Christians are mentioned in an account of how the Emperor Nero went after Christians in order to draw attention away from himself after Rome's fire of 64 AD: A survey of the literature indicates that this citation by Tacitus has not been given enough regard, having often been overshadowed by the citations in Josephus (see next entry). Respected Christian scholar R. T. France, for example, does not believe that the Tacitus passage provides sufficient independent testimony for the existence of Jesus [Franc.EvJ, 23] and agrees with G. A. Wells that the citation is of little value. It is unfortunate that France so readily agreed with Wells' assessment. An investigation into the methods and background of Tacitus, as reported by Tacitean scholars (whose works, incidentally, France does not consult), tells us that this is an extremely reliable reference to Jesus and for early Christianity. Is this a genuine reference, or are there doubts about its veracity?

Extractions: La belle Geneva Lots of fulminating in the past 24 hours about Iraqi flouting of the Geneva Convention; lefties in response often point out that Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay is in itself a flouting of that convention. My understanding is that legal opinion is divided on whether the Convention applies to terrorists like al Qaeda, so let's leave that aside for a moment. The Convention itself serves two purposes: first, it codifies practices that presumably nations should adhere to anyway, since they are good in themselves; second, it assures mutual standards of treatment reciprocity between nations that otherwise might not communicate. It's time to admit that the second rationale for the Convention has been a total failure. Let's look at the treatment of our POWs since the United States first adhered to it: Nazi Germany made erratic efforts to adhere to it, but then they slipped up something bad at Malmedy.

Extractions: P. CORNELIUS TACITUS ANNALS BOOK I A.D. 14, 15 translated by Alfred John Church and William Jackson Brodribb P. Cornelius Tacitus wrote his history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus (A.D. 14) to the death of Domitian (A.D. 96) during the reigns of Trajan (A.D. 98-117) and Hadrian (A.D. 117-138). This consists of two works, the Annals and the Histories ; the first covers the period to the death of Nero (A.D. 68), the second from that point to the death of Domitian, but of each work only portions survive. Previously, after the accession of Nerva (A.D. 96-98), Tacitus had written three shorter works, the Agricola , the Germania , and the Dialogue on Orators . Born about A.D. 56 or 57, Tacitus was a member of the Senate, served Domitian in several capacities and was to serve Nerva and Trajan as well; he held the consulship in 97 and governed Asia some years later, probably 112/113. For the portions that survive, his works are the most detailed treatment of the early empire available from antiquity; he himself was able to use a variety of sources that are no longer extant, including the records of the Senate.

Extractions: Tacitus Born A.D. 56 - Died c. A.D. 120 Annals, Book 15:44 *The Crucifixion recorded in history. Biography of Tacitus Cornelius Tacitus was a Roman orator and public official, and also probably the greatest historiam. He was a prolific writer in Latin. His best-known works are Germania, which describes the Germanic tribe, the Historiae (Histories), documenting the Roman Empire from 69 to 96 A.D., and the Annals, which encompassed the entire empirical period from 16 to 68 A.D. Early Life and Career The birthplace of Tacitus is not known, although northern Italy (Cisalpine Gaul) or southern Gaul (Gallia Narbonensis, modern-day France) are considered the two most likely locations. Though Cornelius was the name of a noble Roman family, there is no proof that he was descended from the Roman aristocracy; provincial families often took the name of the governor who had given them Roman citizenship. In any event he grew up in comfortable circumstances, enjoyed a good education, and found the way open to a public career. Tacitus studied rhetoric, which provided a general literary education including the practice of prose composition. This training was a systematic preparation for administrative office. Tacitus studied to be an advocate at law under two leading orators, Marcus Aper and Julius Secundus; then he began his career with a "virgintivirate" (one of 20 appointments to minor magistracies) and a military tribunate (on the staff of a legion).
