Tacitus on Germany: Roman Insights Into the Culture and Warfare of Germanic Tribes is a remarkable window into the world beyond the Roman Empire. Written by the eminent Roman historian Cornelius Tacitus around 98 AD, this work—commonly known as Germania— examines the customs, laws, rituals, and martial discipline of the various Germanic peoples living beyond the Rhine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFar from a mere catalog of tribes, Tacitus’s Germania is a study in contrasts. He admires the tribes’ bravery, honor-based leadership, and communal values—while subtly condemning the corruption, luxury, and moral decay of imperial Rome. What emerges is not only an anthropological document, but also a mirror held up to Tacitus’s own civilization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis modern edition brings clarity and context to Tacitus’s keen observations, offering both historical precision and accessibility for modern readers interested in the roots of European identity and the origins of tribal resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat you’ll discover in this modern edition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCultural Profiles of Germanic Tribes Learn about the laws, leadership structures, family life, and warfare practices of ancient Germanic peoples\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Roman Historian’s Perspective Understand how Tacitus both admired and idealized these tribes as a critique of his own society\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEarly Ethnography and Political Philosophy Discover the foundational influence this work had on Western anthropology, nationalism, and historical theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClear, Modern Translation Thoughtfully adapted to preserve Tacitus’s intent while ensuring readability for the 21st- century audience\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Legacy That Shaped Europe’s Self-Understanding See how this short work influenced medieval chroniclers, Enlightenment philosophers, and even modern national movements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Library of Alexandria","offers":[{"title":"eBook","offer_id":58289376592220,"sku":"LOA-C1848-EB","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audiobook — Coming soon","offer_id":58289376624988,"sku":"LOA-C1848-AU","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":58289376657756,"sku":"LOA-C1848-PB","price":4.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":58289376690524,"sku":"LOA-C1848-HC","price":13.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1027\/9442\/8764\/files\/1848_Tacitus_on_Germany__standard__ebook__pages-48__trim-6x9in__1800x2700px.jpg?v=1784150689","url":"https:\/\/libraryofalexandria.com\/fr\/products\/tacitus-on-germany","provider":"The Library of Alexandria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
