It’s one thing to think that a bird feeder might attract rats, but its a whole other thing to come home after dark and see four tails hanging from the feeder. The party was in full force when I went outside to my backyard. It was horrible! Four rats were having a feast and they had no plans on moving the party along once I arrived. They didn’t care one bit. In fact, I think they were a little perturbed I crashed their party. This morning I will of course take the bird/rat feeder down. I was so excited when I thought cute birds were eating the seed from it. I was hoping to have a lot of birds in my garden. Nope….not birds. Not birds at all. eww.

The Histories
by Tacitus, Alfred John Church, William Jackson Brodribb
(129 Reviews)
Genre: History | Nonfiction
FREE for a limited time
The Histories is a Roman historical chronicle by Tacitus and it covers the Year of Four Emperors following the downfall of Nero in 68 AD, a year in the history of the Roman Empire in which four emperors ruled in succession: Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian. The mode of their accession showed that because imperial power was based on the support of the legions, an emperor could now be chosen not only at Rome, but anywhere in the empire where sufficient legions were amassed. The style of narration is rapid, reflecting the speed of the events. The narrative rhythm leaves no space to slow down or digress. To write effectively in this style, Tacitus had to summarize substantial information from his sources. Along with The Annals, The Histories provide a key source for modern understanding of the history of the Roman Empire during the 1st century AD.
