It seeks to emphasize the articulation between the works and the public life of the author. On the one hand, as was customary in Latin prose, Tacitus elaborated and compared exemplaof virtuous and vicious men; on the other hand, he sought to remain privileged in a new political context, under Nerva and Trajan, moving away from Domitian, murdered in his own house. Throughout the text, the central hypothesis argues that political and literary communication was constituted through contradictory temporalities, republican and imperial ones, producing ambiguous and paradoxical effects on both the political performance and the literary narrative during the Principates of the 1st and 2nd centuries.

The first one is to analyse how modern historiography understood the role of the Roman aristocracy between the first and second centuries of our era. The second one is to propose, using a passage in the Tiberian books of Tacitus' Annals ways to analyse and explain the political acting of the urbs' aristocracy into the public sphere in the imperial context.
