There was no need for the imperial court to respond Tacitus' views. He expressed his views on the reign of Domitian after Domitian was assassinated and condemned to damnatio memoriae (erasure of memory). Tacitus expressed the hatred for tyranny which the reign of Domitian had created for him and shame about having been complicit to Domitian's persecution of individuals through his silence. Although Nerva had been an advisor of Domitian's and a supporter of his Flavian dynasty, when he was designated as the successor to the hated emperor, he was the one who issued the damnatio memoriae and had his coins and statues melted, his arches torn down and his name erased from all public records. Nerva would not/could not have contemplated a response to Tacitus' popular views.

Why was the Roman Emperor Claudius imprisoned?
Emperor Claudius was not imprisoned. You must have got confused with Tiberius Claudius Narcissus. He was a freedman who was in the inner circle of the court of emperor Claudius. He was imprisoned and executed by Agrippina (the emperor's last wife) soon after the emperor's death. Ancient writer Tacitus said that Agrippina had him executed because he supported Britannicus (the son the emperor had with a previous wife) for the imperial succession against Nero (Agrippina's son) and plotted to bring Agrippina down and, though her her downfall, Nero.
Did Constantine the Great have an education?
Yes, he did. Constantine was brought up at the court of the emperor Diocletian, where he received a formal education. He learnt the subjects Roman elite children studied: Latin and Greek literature, Greek, rhetoric and philosophy. Constantine was much more that just a military man and he was not even just an officer. He started his career as the military commander (rather than just an officer) of the Roman troops both in Britannia and Gaul. This was because his father, Constantius, died just a year after Constantine left the imperial court and joined him in his campaigns in Britannia. Constantius had been appointed by the emperor Diocletian as a junior emperor in charge of Gaul and Britannia. This was the basis of Constantine's claim to the imperial title. He saw himself as being entitled to it as the son of one of the two junior emperors of the tetrarchy - rule by four, a system of co-emperorship with two senior emperors and two junior emperors set up by Diocletian. Constantine's father was a pagan, but as a child he hardly saw him because he was always away on duty. His mother was a Christian (later she became Saint Helena). At the imperial court he was in contact with prominent intellectuals, both pagan philosophers and Christian theologians. This provides part of the explanation for Constantine's straddling paganism and Christianity through much of his political career.
