The Histories of Tacitus: Books III, IV and V is a book written by A.D. Godley. It is a translation of the third, fourth, and fifth books of the Histories by the Roman historian Tacitus. The Histories is a historical work that covers the period from the death of Nero in 68 AD to the end of the Year of the Four Emperors in 70 AD. The book provides an account of the political and military events that took place during this period, including the rise of the Flavian dynasty and the Jewish revolt in Judea. Godley’s translation is known for its accuracy and clarity, and it is considered one of the best English translations of Tacitus’s work. The book is a valuable resource for students and scholars of Roman history and literature, as well as anyone interested in the history of the Roman Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
