A strikingly erudite 1824 French edition of Tacitus, enriched with political and historical annotations that reflect post-revolutionary Europe's intense fascination with imperial power, corruption, and decline. This edition offers not just a translation, but a deep interpretive apparatus—where Roman tyranny is mirrored through Bourbon restoration anxieties and Enlightenment critique.

Bound in elegant 19th-century boards, it transforms the brutal eloquence of Rome’s most austere historian into a tool for political reflection. More than literature, it’s a mirror held up to empire, sharpened by centuries of unrest and scholarly fire.
