Germania

Desolate, eerie, hideous and rather windy: This is how Tacitus described Germania almost 2000 years ago. Its inhabitants were used to cold and hunger, they had blue eyes, were tall and their hair had a reddish sheen. In addition, Tacitus describes in his writing "Germania" the culture and religion of the northern inhabitants, their tribal structure, how they lived and fed themselves or brought up their children. An invaluable source for today's historians.
The bilingual edition contains a new translation with rich explanations, an index of proper names and an afterword that illuminates both the contents of the writing itself and its reception up to modern times.
