The book offers a dual exploration of Roman perspectives through two significant works by Tacitus. In "Germania," he presents a detailed ethnography of German tribes, contrasting their perceived virtues with the moral decay of Imperial Rome. Meanwhile, "The Agricola" provides a personal narrative about Tacitus' father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, detailing his military conquests in Britain and offering one of the earliest descriptions of the British Isles and its people. Together, these writings reflect on themes of civilization, virtue, and imperialism.
