Resumen de Tacitus's Omnipresent Vespasian
The life and achievements of Vespasian frame and may even motivate Tacitus's historiographical agenda. The works of Tacitus that have been for so long interpreted as dark meditations on tyranny can also be understood as explorations of the origins, development, and decline of power as seen through the life of the one man who restored order even as he begat despotism. Attention to the omnipresence of Vespasian strengthens our understanding of the representations created by the Latin historians of the Imperial Age concerning significant moments of political crisis with attention to single leaders.
