The first two centuries of the Christian era were largely a period of consolidation for the Roman Empire. However, the history of the heyday of Roman imperium is far from dull, for Augustus’ successors ranged from capable administrators - Tiberius, Claudius and Hadrian - to near-madmen like Caligula and the amateur gladiator Commodus, who might have wrecked the system but for its inherent strength. Albino Garzetti’s classic From Tiberius to the Antonines, first published in 1960, presents a definitive account of this fascinating period, which combines a clear and readable narrative with a thorough discussion of the methodological problems and primary sources. Regarding difficult historical questions, it can be relied upon for careful and reasonable judgments based on a full mastery of an immense amount of material. Nearly three hundred pages of critical notes and a comprehensive bibliography complement the text, ensuring its continuing relevance for all students of Roman history.

Excerpt from Aspects of the Principate of Tiberius This work begins (chapter I with a list and discussion of all the non-spanish colonial coinages that I attribute to the principate of Tiberius. Both list and discussion are, in the present state of knowl edge, included with considerable difiidence,13 and largely in the hope of inviting additions and corrections. The remaining two chapters look, through the eyes of the colonies, towards Rome. Chapter II deals with the person of Tiberius, with the friends to whom he and his government gave authority, and with the Vir tues or principles officially favoured by that government. Chapter III is concerned with his julio-claudian seniors and juniors, dead and alive, and especially with Livia. Such conclusions as are reached are summed up in a brief recapitulatory section.

The years from the battle of Actium to the death of Nero stand at the very heart of Roman history. Yet the sources of this key period, particularly the inscriptions, papyri and coins, are not readily accessible. Crucial new discoveries remain buried in learned periodicals, and now that the study of the ancient world is widespread among those without Latin and Greek, the lack of translations is proving a serious handicap. Augustus to Nero, first published in 1985, contains numerous texts not only for students of traditional political history, but also of those interested in social and economic history. An introductory essay establishes a broad methodological framework within which each text may be understood. The focus throughout is on less well-known literary evidence: for example, the significant poetry of Crinagoras and Calpurnius Siculus. Inaccessible sources are here collected and translated: brief notes are supplied to help the reader.
