Essay on Tacitus' The Agricola and The Germania

Empire Rome added a new territory in the 1st century AD to expand the borders. They spread to northern Europe and the UK, trying to conquer and conquer various types of people. Based on my reading of Agricola and Germania of Takitus I have learned about the agricola's theme and the British life and custom which is the German subject. Of course, this is a Roman, more specifically Tassius. "To observe and observe these people, British customs are different from Roman customs, Britain is the largest island known to the Romans, they think British are barbarians. Physical characteristics of people are different.

The Romans believe that these Britons never die for their own business and family - because they believed that their wives and children in their families would escape but cowards without a list, they would die Instead it was caught. German customs are also different from Roman customs. Germany contains a wide variety of people, Tashi people are considered indigenous people, there is little foreign blood. Their physical characteristics are the same, they can not stand hard enough to withstand trivial things like Romans. Because their land does not have much silver or gold their sole form of wealth is numbered by livestock. But after contacting the Romans they began to pay attention to gold and silver.

Each of the 46 Germania paragraphs contains a specific field of German civilization where Tassius developed a two-layer theme. The two points he tried to clarify were: A) Germans were savage, savage and stupid ... But ... B) Germans are strange with some redemption qualities Is nobility

Tacitus is particularly interested in the UK, as his father - in - law Gnaeus Julius Agricola has served there three times (and the subject of his first book). Agricola is a military forum under the leadership of Suetonius Paulinus and it is almost certain that Tacitus is a witness to Boudica's rebellion. The story of Cassius Dio can only be learned from the microcosm, his source is unknown. He generally agreed to establish an account with a Tassius account but he simplified the sequence of events and added more information such as calling a loan, Tasius did not mention
