Excerpt from Tacitus, Vol. 1 Caius Cornelius Tacitus was born about the beginning of Nero's reign, but the exact year cannot be ascertained. Pliny the younger informs us that Tacitus was nearly of his own age, and that when he was growing up to manhood, his friend was florishing among the orators of the bar. Pliny's age can be stated with certainty. Tacitus was at least four or five years older than Pliny, and most probably was born in the year of Rome 810, in the sixth of Nero's reign. The place of his nativity is no where mentioned. Tacitus has gained, by the suffrages of posterity, the highest rank among the historians of Greece and Rome.
