Resumo(s)
In Tacitus’ Annals, the passages narrating the impeachment of Barea Soranus
and his daughter Servilia (XVI 21, 1; 23; 30-33) are studied from the point of view of what is
called ‘tragic history’. Reading through the density of its stylistic resources, the account emphasizes the exceptional example of its characters’ virtue during a time of moral decadence and
portrays them as martyrs of Nero’s overwhelming cruelty, and as innocent victims of treacherous
informers and of the Senate’s silent collusion. However, it also reveals the sublime nature of
Tacitus’ prose and the sense of finality with which he imbues the writing of history.
