*Agricola and Germania
Translated by Harold Mattingly
Revised with an Introduction and Notes by
James B. Rives
Undeniably one of Rome’s most
important historians, Tacitus was also
one of its most gifted. The Agricola serves
as both a portrait of Julius Agricola—the
most famous governor of Roman
Britain—and as the first known detailed
account of the British Isles. The Germania
focuses on the warlike Germanic tribes
beyond the Rhine.
