Resumo

Resumo: Baseando-se nas ideias de Ronald Syme sobre a simpatia de Tácito por Marcelo Éprio, assim como no trabalho de Dylan Sailor, que revela a postura crítica do historiador em relação a Helvídio Prisco, este artigo mostra por que a descrição de Muciano é importante tanto para combinar quanto para confirmar essas duas vertentes interpretativas. Apresentado como “criador de reis” a Vespasiano, Muciano – ou melhor, o retrato que Tácito faz dele – revela-se um guia crucial, embora negligenciado, para os métodos e as simpatias do historiador cuja carreira dependia da Dinastia Flaviana e que decidiu contar seus feitos em suas Histórias.
