Excerpt: ... 133 GERMANY Chapter II Page 90, 1. 15. The meaning appears to be this. The first tribe which crossed the Rhine was called Gennani. To alarm the Gauls they said that all the tribes beyond the Rhine were Germani. Thus the Gauls came to know the whole race by the name of a single tribe: and subsequently the race accepted this tribe-name as their own. Similarly the Italians knew the Hellenes as Graeci, and the French now call the Germans Allemands (Allemanni). If the name Germani is of Celtic origin it may mean Loud-shouters or possibly Neighbours. Chapter III 1. 16. Tacitus means a German hero with attributes similar to those of Hercules. The allusion may be to Irmin or to Thor. Tacitus throughout calls the German gods by corresponding Roman names. L 19. Shield-song. This translation rests on the supposition that barditum, the best-supported reading, is formed from bardbi, 'a shield.' Chapter VI Page 92, 1. 25. The words 'to the right' cannot be correct in the text. Tacitus could not have thought that the German cavalry wheeled always to the right, and never to the left. He means that, whether they rode forwards, or made a flank turn, they always kept in line, never moving in single file, but forming- the radius of a circle, each horseman adapting his speed to his position. Chapter VII Page 93, 1. 20. grove. See chapters ix and xliii. 1. 28.. examine. The meaning may be ' they demand wounds', i. e. as a proof of courage. Chapter VIII Page 94,1. 14. A sly allusion to the canonization of Drusilla, Caligula's sister, and Nero's wife, Poppaea Sabina. Chapter IX 1. 15. Mercury. The allusion is probably to the German Wuodan or Woden (Norse Odin), whose name survives in Wednesday. Cf. note on chap. iii. 1. 17. Mars. The German Tiu (Norse Tyr), ...

Download or read book Agricola. Germania. Dialogue on Oratory written by Tacitus and published by Loeb Classical Library. This book was released on 1914 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paramount historian of the early Roman empire. Tacitus (Cornelius), famous Roman historian, was born in AD 55, 56 or 57 and lived to about 120. He became an orator, married in 77 a daughter of Julius Agricola before Agricola went to Britain, was quaestor in 81 or 82, a senator under the Flavian emperors, and a praetor in 88. After four years' absence he experienced the terrors of Emperor Domitian's last years and turned to historical writing. He was a consul in 97. Close friend of the younger Pliny, with him he successfully prosecuted Marius Priscus. Works: (i) Life and Character of Agricola, written in 97-98, specially interesting because of Agricola's career in Britain. (ii) Germania (98-99), an equally important description of the geography, anthropology, products, institutions, and social life and the tribes of the Germans as known to the Romans. (iii) Dialogue on Oratory (Dialogus), of unknown date; a lively conversation about the decline of oratory and education. (iv) Histories (probably issued in parts from 105 onwards), a great work originally consisting of at least twelve books covering the period AD 69-96, but only Books 1-4 and part of Book 5 survive, dealing in detail with the dramatic years 69-70. (v) Annals, Tacitus's other great work, originally covering the period AD 14-68 (Emperors Tiberius, Gaius, Claudius, Nero) and published between 115 and about 120. Of sixteen books at least, there survive Books 1-4 (covering the years 14-28); a bit of Book 5 and all Book 6 (31-37); part of Book 11 (from 47); Books 12-15 and part of Book 16 (to 66). Tacitus is renowned for his development of a pregnant concise style, character study, and psychological analysis, and for the often terrible story which he brilliantly tells. As a historian of the early Roman empire he is paramount. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Tacitus is in five volumes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this volume, eminent scholar and translator Herbert W. Benario provides faithful, readable translations of three short works of Tacitus: Agricola—the fullest ancient account of Rome's conquest of Britain and of the public career of a senator in the service of a Roman emperor—Germany, a valuable source on the ancient land and its people, and Dialogue on Orators, an examination in the tradition of Cicero's rhetorical essays of the decline of oratory in Rome's early empire. Together, these works illuminate an important phase in Tacitus' development as Rome's foremost historian. Introductory essays, chapter summaries, notes, a bibliography, maps, and an index are included.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tacitus Dialogus Agricola and Germania: Translated With Introduction and Notes It is interesting to trace in these early works the gradual evolution of Tacitus's literary style. Like most great artists he began by conforming to the best models of the past, and gradually evolved a manner of using language better adapted to express the fine shades of his individual character and meaning. The style of the Dialogue is Ciceronian, fluent, grandiloquent and largely rhythmical, with occa sional glints of the Tacitean epigram. In the Agricola and the Germania Tacitus has already adopted the style which makes the Annals and Histories immortal, but the note of rhetoric is struck more often than in the later works. In a translation it is only possible to indicate his change of style very inadequately, but those who are interested in the art of writing may gather from the Dialogue the literary doctrine which determined the development of Tacitus's style.
