Question

why histories of the Roman period written by contemporaries were usually called ‘Annals’?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The Romans were a well organised literary society, and left records of all kinds, from the amount of grain imported, to those standing for the Roman Senate. Historians such as Livy also left details of the Empire. Letters are the most interesting way of getting to know the Romans.
