Republic - Heads of state.
If the head of state of a republic is at the same time the head of government, this is called a presidential system (example: United States). In Semi-presidential systems the head of state is not the same person as the head of government, in that case he is usually termed prime minister or premier. Depending on whether the president has any specific tasks (for example, advisory role in the formation of a government after an election) this can leave the president with little more ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Republic dialogue - Content The Republic is a wide-ranging and comprehensive dialogue articulated by dramatic scenes and topics of discussion.

Republic - Heads of state.
If the head of state of a republic is at the same time the head of government, this is called a presidential system (example: United States). In parliamentary and semi-presidential systems the head of state is not the same person as the head of government, in that case the latter is usually termed prime minister or premier. Depending on whether the president has any specific tasks (for example, advisory role in the formation of a government after an election) this can leave the presiden ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Tacitus - Biography Tacitus's works contain a wealth of information about his world, but details on his own life are lacking. Even his praenomen (first name) is uncertain. What little we know comes from scattered hints throughout the corpus of his work, the letters of his friend and admirer Pliny the Younger, an inscription found at Mylasa in Caria[1]< ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Republic - Examples of republics In the early 21st century the states that are not hereditary monarchies, but still don't label themselves as republics are the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, the State of Vatican City, the State of Israel, the Union of Myanmar and the Russian Federation. Israel and Russia, and even Myanmar and Libya, would meet many definitions of the term republic, however.
Republics by additional qualifier:
Without other qualifier than the term Republic - for example France.
Federal republic - USA, Austria, Brazil ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Tacitus - The sources of Tacitus Tacitus was able to consult the official sources of the Roman state: the acta senatus (the minutes of the session of the Senate) and the acta diurna populi Romani (a collection of the acts of the government and news of the court and capital). He could read the collections of speeches by some emperors, such as Tiberius and Claudius. Generally, Tacitus was a scrupulous historian who paid careful attention to his historical works. The minor inacurracies occurring in the Annals might be due to the fact that Tacitus died befo ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Tacitus - Literary style Tacitus's writings are known for their instantly deep-cutting and dense prose, seldom glossy, in contrast with the more placable style of some of his contemporaries, like Plutarch.
When he describes a near-to-defeat of the Roman army in Ann. I, 63 this is one of the rare occasions where he applies some kind of gloss, but then still rather by the brevity with which he describes the end of the hostilities, than by embellishing phrases.
In most of his writings he keeps to a strictly chronological ordering of his narration, with only seldom an outline of the bigger picture, as if he leaves it to the reader to co ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Tacitus - Studies and reception history From Pliny the Younger's 7th Letter (to Tacitus), §33:
Auguror nec me fallit augurium, historias tuas immortales futuras.
I predict, and my predictions do not fail me, that your histories will be immortal.
Tacitus is remembered first and foremost as Rome's greatest historian, the equal—if not the superior—of Thucydides, the ancient Greeks' foremost historian; the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica opined that he "ranks beyond ...

| | | | Ann.: Encyclopedia II - Republic dialogue - Reception and interpretation
Republic dialogue - Ancient Greece.
The idea of writing treatises on systems of government was followed some decades later by Plato's most prominent pupil Aristotle. He wrote a treatise for which he used another Greek word "politika" in the title. The title of Aristotle's work is however conventionally translated to "politics": see Politics (Aristotle).
Aristotle's treatise was not written in dialogue format: it systematises many of the concepts brought forward by Plato in his Republic, in some cases leading the author to ...
