I et tidligt kapitel af "Agricola" hævder Tacitus, at han ønsker at tale om årene under Domitian, Nerva og Trajan. I "Historiebøgerne" har omfanget ændret sig; Tacitus siger, at han vil beskæftige sig med Nerva og Trajans tidsalder på et senere tidspunkt. I stedet vil han dække perioden fra borgerkrigene i året for de fire kejsere og slutte med Flaviernes despotisme. Kun de første fire bøger og seksogtyve kapitler i den femte bog er overleveret og dækker året 69 og den første del af 70. Det antages, at værket er fortsat frem til Domitians død den 18. september 96. Den femte bog indeholder - som et forord til beretningen om Titus' undertrykkelse af det store jødiske oprør - en kort etnografisk undersøgelse af de gamle jøder, og er en uvurderlig fortegnelse over romernes holdninger til dem.

"Årbøgerne", Tacitus' sidste arbejde, dækker perioden fra Augustus Caesars død i 14 e.v.t. Han skrev mindst seksten bøger, men bøgerne 7-10 og dele af bøgerne 5, 6, 11 og 16 mangler. Bog 6 slutter med Tiberius' død og bøgerne 7 til 12 dækkede formodentlig Caligulas og Claudius' regeringsperioder. De resterende bøger dækker Neros regeringstid, måske indtil hans død i juni 68 eller indtil slutningen af det år for at få forbindelse med "Historiebøgerne". Den anden halvdel af bog 16 mangler; den slutter med begivenhederne i 66. Vi ved ikke, om Tacitus afsluttede arbejdet; han døde, før han kunne afslutte sine planlagte beretninger om Nerva og Trajan, og ingen optegnelser overlevede af arbejdet med Augustus Caesar og begyndelsen af det romerske imperium, som han havde planlagt at afslutte sit arbejde med. "Årbøgerne" er en af de tidligste sekulære historiske tekster, der nævner Kristus, hvilket Tacitus gør i forbindelse med Neros forfølgelse af de kristne.

We live today with the effects of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, so to understand where we are, we must know where we were. Tacitus was an ancient Roman historian that gives us a deep look at one period in Rome's chaotic story. While Tacitus doesn't provide us all we need to know the story of 'us', he does fill in important gaps, which means that Tacitus and his "Histories" is essential reading.
