Rate this book
Trostlos, schaurig, scheußlich und darüber hinaus noch ziemlich So beschrieb der Römer Tacitus vor bald 2000 Jahren Germanien. Seine Bewohner seien Kälte und Hunger gewöhnt, sie hätten blaue Augen, seien groß gewachsen, und ihr Haar schimmere rötlich. In seiner Schrift Germania beschreibt der Historiker darüber hinaus die Kultur und Religion der Nordbewohner, wie sie wohnen und sich ernähren, ihre Kinder erziehen oder auch, welche Bodenschätze es bei ihnen gebe.

From the death of Augustus in 14 Histories and Annals , greatest works of Publius Cornelius Tacitus, Roman public official, concern the period to Domitian in 96.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus served as a senator of the empire. The major portions examine the reigns of Tiberius, Claudius, Nero and those four emperors, who reigned in the year. They span the empire to the years of the first Jewish war in 70. One enormous four-books long lacuna survives in the texts.

Publius Cornelius Tacitus discusses oratory in dialogue format in Dialogus de oratoribus , Germania in De origine et situ Germanorum , and biographical notes about Gnaeus Julius Agricola, his father-in-law, primarily during his campaign in Britannia (see De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae ).
