The Agricola and Germany of Tacitus: And the Dialogue on Oratory is a book written by Cornelius Tacitus and first published in 1877. The book is a collection of three works by Tacitus, a Roman historian and politician who lived in the first century AD. The first work in the book is The Agricola, which is a biography of Tacitus' father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, who was a Roman general and governor of Britain. The book provides a detailed account of Agricola's life, including his military campaigns in Britain, his administration of the province, and his personal character. The Agricola is also notable for its criticism of the Roman Empire and its portrayal of the Britons as a noble and brave people.The second work in the book is Germany, which is a description of the Germanic tribes that lived beyond the borders of the Roman Empire. The book provides a detailed account of the geography, customs, and culture of the Germanic peoples, and is considered one of the most important sources of information about them.The third work in the book is The Dialogue on Oratory, which is a conversation between three characters about the nature of oratory and its role in society. The book explores the different styles of oratory, the qualities of a good orator, and the relationship between oratory and politics.Overall, The Agricola and Germany of Tacitus: And the Dialogue on Oratory is an important work of Roman history and literature, providing valuable insights into the Roman Empire and its relationship with the peoples beyond its borders.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
