This paper shows that Tacitus patterns his account of the civil war between Otho and Vitellius in Historiae 1–2 on Lucan's account of the conflict between Pompey and Caesar in the Bellum Civile. The characters involved, the setting of the decisive clash, and the sequence of events of the two conflicts are analogous. By emulating Lucan, Tacitus suggests that the civil war that he is recounting is the worst of all times, for both sides implicated in the conflict are potentially harmful for Rome.

内战的重复性不断升级:塔西us对历史学家1–2中奥索与维特里乌斯之间冲突的叙述中的卢卡尼亚典故

本文表明,塔西us以他的历史叙述了奥托与维泰里乌斯在历史1–2中的内战,而卢坎则以叙述了贝卢姆平民中庞培与凯撒之间的冲突为由。所涉及的角色,决定性冲突的发生以及这两次冲突的事件顺序是相似的。塔西us斯模仿卢坎,暗示他正在叙述的内战是有史以来最糟糕的,因为牵涉到冲突的双方都可能对罗马有害。
