Best Answer
AnswerTacitus was an early second century Roman historian. Not a great deal is known about him, but he seems to have had republican inclinations. His writings about the early Roman Emperors always seemed biased to highlight their worst characteristics. He had a successful political career and probably did not need a patron to support him while he wrote his Annals and Histories, etc.
