Tacitus' withering reference to those who marvel at matters worthy only of the daily gazette expresses a scepticism that can be regarded as typically Tacitean; nevertheless wonder has an important role to play in his writing, and his narratives are filled with wondrous phenomena. This collection asks whether new approaches to reading Tacitus can accept wonders as an integral part of the narrative, rather than aberrations.While recent scholarship has advanced the study of wonders in ancient Greek and Roman literatures with special attention to paradoxographers and poets, this volume tackles the problem of how marvels, paradox and wonder challenge readerly credulity in historiography and the adjacent genres in which Tacitus worked.

Victoria Emma Pagan looks at Tacitus from a range of perspectives: as a literary stylist, perhaps influenced by Sallust; his notion of time; his modes of discourse; his place in the historiography of the era; and the later reception of Tacitus in the Renaissance and early modern periods. Tacitus remains of major interest to students of the Bible, as well as classicists, by virtue of his reference to 'Christus' and Nero's persecution of the Christians after the great fire of Rome in 64 CE. This lively survey enables its readers fully to appreciate why, in holding a mirror up to venality and greed, the work of Tacitus remains eternal.…
