Marcus Annaeus Lucan was a Roman poet, best known for his epic poem "Pharsalia". Tacitus was a Roman senator and historian of the Empire. He is generally considered one of the greatest Roman historians, and is known for the brevity of his prose and his insights into the psychology of the politics of power. This book includes both Lucan's "Pharsalia" and works by Tacitus bound together (a common practice in the pre-modern world).
