Tiberius to Nero by Melvin Gl Cooley
To accompany Suetonius' biographies of these emperors and the extant narrative of Tacitus' Annals, this volume contains a large selection of the less easily available, but more contemporary, sources on this frequently studied period of Roman history. Longer sources include the complete consul lists and the surviving records of the 'Arval Brothers' for the period, as well as Velleius on Tiberius, Philo on his embassy to Caligula, Josephus' account of the assassination of Caligula and the installation of Claudius, and Seneca's advice to the young emperor Nero. The second part gives 545 documents from literary texts, inscriptions, coins, papyri and works of art, arranged by themes: imperial family, Rome and Italy, religion and imperial cult, administration of empire, war and expansion, conspiracies, entertainment, literature and culture, freedmen and slaves, panegyric and invective, and upper classes.
