Tacitus Agricolae vitam et res gestas accurate describit et multa de Britannia et Romanorum imperio narrat.

This companion to the Penguin translation of Tacitus' book XIV provides commentary on an important period of Roman history, the years 59-62 AD when Nero was freed (mainly by murder) from the restraints imposed by Agrippina, Burrus and Octavia. The commentary pays special attention to Tacitus' use of stylistic devices to emphasis important events and traits of personality.

First published in 1933 as a reprint of a 1914 original, this book contains the Latin text of Tacitus' important works 'Agricola', a biography of his father-in-law, and 'Germania', the most detailed extant record of German life during ancient times. Sleeman provides a comprehensive introduction to the pieces, and critical notes are also supplied.
