At school I attend lessons of ancient Greek, and I must say I got completely gripped by the power of their literary art and high valued culture. I loved Homer, I really enjoyed Sapho, but I absolutely fell for Arrian's reports about Alexander the Great. In fact, there are a lot of things that Alexander did which I would not approve of, but beside all that I found him to be very noble and very progressing for his age of living.

Tacitus in his Annals and Histories wrote about the period from Tiberius to the Year of Four Emperors. We have no ancient biography of Nerva or Trajan, but the thread is picked up in a work called the Historia Augusta, which tells us about Hadrian and his successors. Given the biases and methods of these ancient authors, there is reason to doubt the veracity of all these works. Making sense of their mixture of the true and not-true keeps modern historians busy. Dio Cassius is another important source, though the books of his Roman History that cover the period after Claudius survive only in fragments and in abridged form.
