Having never read it, I don't know. If you wikipedia it though it's got a breakdown of the content, saves you reading it trying to find out.

Do you mean the official annals of Rome held by the pontifex maximus, the so-called Annales Maximi?

Or do you mean the text by Tacitus, Annales (The Annals).

 

[Matt1120]

The Annales by Tacitus. Also if any knows where i could find the journal of Roman Studies that would be great. 3 days into the new term lol YAY

... Have you tried a library? USyd and MQ libraries are sure to have it. Wouldn't be surprised if the state library has it, as well.

Tacitus's Annals does touch on military events - i think there were even chapters dedicated to emperors and the army (but i can't clearly remember).
