The first work of any great historian has always commanded
attention, and Tacitus was ancient Rome's very greatest historian.
His biography of his father-in-law, governor of Britain in the
years AD 77 84, is a literary masterpiece: it combines penetrating
political history with gripping military narrative and throughout
poses the question (still very much alive today) of how one should
live one's life under a tyranny. This is the first commentary in
English on the Agricola for almost half a century: in keeping with
the aims of the series, particular attention is paid to the
understanding of Tacitus' Latin, but a whole range of generic,
historical, textual and narrative topics is covered, and it will be
suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well
as scholars. Tacitus' Agricola remains a key text for anyone with
an interest in Roman Britain as well as ancient biography."
