No other source preserves such a coherent account of the extraordinary events of 68, and for 69 Plutarch's \"Lives\" are comparable with Tacitus' \"Histories\". As well as including a translation, this useful companion explains the background, and provides a commentary that makes serious use of the numismatic evidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDouglas Little taught Classics at the Universities of Otago and Texas.
