A historical-archaeological and linguistic commentary of Tacitus's Germania, updated with the latest findings of archaeological investigation

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Tacitus: Germania has been an abiding interest for all who study the Roman world from a northern European perspective. Anderson’s edition, first published in 1938, was designed to replace that of Furneaux and to take particular account of the light thrown by archaeology on Tacitus's account of the Germanic peoples. It is such a thorough edition that it has never been replaced and is now reprinted in paperback.

The commentary provides comprehensive coverage of historical, archaeological, and linguistic matters. Updated to include the findings of archaeological investigation over the century, it serves to lift the veil that shrouded the pre-history of the Germanic peoples and the process of their expansion over central Europe.
