About this product

Product Information

The Agricola is both a portrait of Julius Agricola - the most famous governor of Roman Britain and Tacitus' well-loved and respected father-in-law - and the first detailed account of Britain that has come down to us. It offers fascinating descriptions of the geography, climate and peoples of the country, and a succinct account of the early stages of the Roman occupation, nearly fatally undermined by Boudicca's revolt in AD 61 but consolidated by campaigns that took Agricola as far as Anglesey and northern Scotland. The warlike German tribes are the focus of Tacitus' attention in the Germania , which, like the Agricola , often compares the behaviour of 'barbarian' peoples favourably with the decadence and corruption of Imperial Rome.

  • Taciturn, but invaluable.

    This text is one of the most illustrative of all Latin texts regarding ancient Europe. The peremptory dismissal by Tacitus of the customs and practices of the Germanic Tribes, coupled with his spartan style make it an easy read, but sadly short on detail. Of course, his overlay of Roman efficiency and citizenship would color his descriptions of the loosely organized, often debauched Germanic life, but I suppose his willingness to include the things he did means he saw substance in them for some reason. At any rate, if one is a student of Anglo-Saxon culture, or even the early roots of Nordic culture, one must read this book. It is as fundamental to early European history as Gibbon is to Roman History.

  • Good stuff

    A great read for history buffs.
