Discover the rich history of Roman Britain through Tacitus' definitive works, 'Agricola and Germania'. This trade paperback edition delves into the life of Julius Agricola, the esteemed governor of Roman Britain and father-in-law of the historian Tacitus. The 'Agricola' not only offers a captivating biography but also serves as the earliest detailed account of Britain, showcasing its diverse geography, climate, and peoples. Experience an engaging narrative of the Roman occupation during the tumultuous period marked by Boudicca's revolt in AD 61 and the subsequent military campaigns that expanded Roman influence to Anglesey and northern Scotland. Alongside this, 'Germania' provides insight into the fierce German tribes, contrasting their resilient values with the decadence observed in Imperial Rome. This companion volume invites readers to appreciate the complexities of ancient cultures while drawing attention to the moral comparisons presented by Tacitus. With its compact yet informative 176 pages, this 2010 Penguin UK edition is perfect for history enthusiasts seeking to explore Rome's imperial past.

Description:
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.
