Germania and Agricola is a book by the Roman historian Tacitus, specifically consisting of two of his works: Germania and Agricola. Germania is a detailed account of the Germanic tribes that lived beyond the borders of the Roman Empire, providing insights into their customs, culture, and way of life. Agricola, on the other hand, is a biography of Tacitus' father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, who was a successful Roman general and governor of Britain. The book describes Agricola's campaigns in Britain, his efforts to promote Roman culture and civilization among the Britons, and his eventual recall to Rome. Together, these two works offer a fascinating glimpse into the world of ancient Rome and its interactions with the peoples beyond its borders.IX. Deorum maxime Mercurium colunt, cui certis diebus humanis quoque hostiis litare fas habent. Herculem ac Martem concessis animalibus placant: pars Suevorum et Isidi sacrificat. Unde causa et origo peregrino sacro parum comperi, nisi quod signum ipsum, in modum liburnae figuratum, docet advectam religionem. Ceterum nec cohibere parietibus deos, neque in ullam humani oris speciem assimulare, ex magnitudine coelestium arbitrantur: lucos ac nemora consecrant, deorumque nominibus appellant secretum illud, quod sola reverentia vident.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
