Cornelius Tacitus 
The Agricola and The Germania 

‘The Agricola and The Germania’ are two important historical works by Cornelius Tacitus, an ancient Roman Senator and historian. The Agricola is a biography of the Roman general Gnaeus Julius Agricola as well as a geographic and ethnographic history of Ancient Britain. ‘The Germania’ is an ethnographic study of the people believed by Tacitus to be part of the ancient Germanic tribes. While not as famous as Tacitus’s ‘Annals’ or ‘Histories’, ‘The Agricola and The Germania’ still remain as important first-hand documents of ancient history.
