Problem
1. According to The Annals Vol. III, Book 1 by Tacitus, how would you estimate Tacitus as a historian. Do you find his early claim on his absence of bias convincing? Or, does he directly or inadvertently provide his own opinion on events with his narrative? Explain your reasoning and provide examples.
2. How does Tacitus describe the shift from the Republic to the Principate?
3. How does Tacitus use his narrative to foreshadow the later disasters of Tiberius' reign?
