作者简介
Cornelius Tacitus, also known as Publius Cornelius Tacitus, was a senator and a historian of the Roman Empire, whose work is pivotal to understand the history and culture of his era. Born circa A.D. 56, likely in the region of Gaul, Tacitus is regarded as one of the greatest Roman historians by contemporary scholars. His writing style is characterized by concise, penetrating analyses and a somber, intense tone. 'Tacitus on Germany', known more formally as 'Germania', offers a detailed ethnographic study of the Germanic tribes as known to the Romans. While some question the accuracy of Tacitus' accounts, citing his limited firsthand experience with the tribes, 'Germania' provides invaluable insight into the Roman view of others and stands as a vital text in classical literature, anthropological studies, and historical methodology. Tacitus' other major works include 'Histories' and 'Annals', which together cover the history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus to the reign of Domitian. In these works, Tacitus delivers a scathing critique of the despotic rule, senatorial weakness, and the loss of republican liberties. His literary legacy continues to influence historians and writers, and his books are essential resources for scholars and students studying the Roman empire and its historiography.
