Along with The Histories, The Annals provide a key source for a modern understanding of the history of the Roman Empire during the 1st century AD. The style of narration is rapid, reflecting the speed of the events. The narrative rhythm leaves no space to slow down or digress. To write effectively in this style, Tacitus had to summarize substantial information from his sources.
