Germania by Cornelius Tacitus
QR code
"Germania" by Cornelius Tacitus is a historical and ethnographic work written around 98 AD. It describes the lands, laws, and customs of Germanic peoples living beyond the Roman Empire's borders. Tacitus examines their physical characteristics, government structures, gender roles, and tribal divisions, drawing from secondhand sources since he never visited the region himself. Rediscovered in 1425, this work profoundly influenced German humanism and later nationalist movements, shaping how Germanic antiquity was understood
and interpreted throughout European history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
