Translated by Alfred J. Church. This edition is NOT a mass market printing but a high-quality edition printed on white paper. Germania, or in its original Latin, De Origine et situ Germanorum, is Roman historian Tacitus's in-depth account of the culture, tribal structure, society, and physical appearance of the ancient German tribes located to the east of the Rhine River, what the Romans called Germania Magna or Greater Germany. Germania described the lands, laws, and customs of the individual German tribes from the Rhine River to the northern Baltic Sea, including full details on their systems of government, religion, the egalitarian status of women in German society, and even a form of folk assembly, or parliament, at which important decisions were made by common vote and consensus. It remains history's most valuable resource on that period. Agricola, or in its original Latin, De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae is a biographical work based on the life of Tacitus's father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, one of the most prominent Roman generals who took part in the final conquest of Britain. It provides many fascinating details of the Roman conquest of Britain, and of how Agricola served as governor of the new province. Publius Cornelius Tacitus (56 AD-120 AD) was a Roman senator and widely regarded as the most reliable and greatest of all Roman historians.
