This is the OCR-endorsed publication from Bloomsbury for the Latin AS and A-Level (Group 1) prescription of Annals Book I sections 16–30 and the A-Level (Group 2) prescription of Annals Book I sections 3–7, 11–14 and 46–49, giving full Latin text, commentary and vocabulary, with a detailed introduction that also covers the prescribed text to be read in English for A Level.Annals I starts with the death of Augustus and the beginning of Tiberius’ principate. Tacitus chronicles the uneasy and unprecedented transition from one to the other, in the context of a political elite shaken by years of civil war and unsure as to how best to protect their own interests and the stability Augustus had brought to Rome. With damning references to the servile nature of the new regime, Tacitus vividly paints scenes of confused senatorial debates, and Tiberius’ own uncertainty over his own position and the best decisions to make. Opportunistic rebellions in the army are described with dramatic brilliance.

Because Tacitus has the reputation of being one of the most difficult Roman authors encountered by young students of Latin, texts like that of Radice and Mayer act as invaluable resources in the classroom. This well-organized handbook of 168 pages mitigates the intimidation of facing a challenging read like Annals I … This book can be useful in any intermediate Latin reading course … Overall, the authors have created a nice tool for introducing first-time readers of Tacitus to these important opening portions of the Annals, whether they are taking OCR exams or not. The book is thorough enough so as not to be overwhelming for a beginner, and sufficient to get a student through the text with a strong understanding, and possibly even an eagerness to read more Tacitus.
