Abstract
This article considers the role of gardens in Tacitus Annales Book11 as performative and transgressive space. Tacitus' account posits garden space as a nexus of narrative uncertainty between historia and fabula . This relationship is considered in the context of the transformative potential of performative space and concludes that the narrative interaction between gardens, transgression, and transformation both reference and foreshadow Julio-Claudian mythic enactments and the politics of performance.
