Cornelius Tacitus, Rome's greatest historian and the last great writer of classical Latin prose, produced his first two books in AD 98, after the assination of the Emperor Domitian ended fifteen years of enforced silence. Much of Agricola, which is the biography of Tacitus' late father-in-law Julius Agricola, is devoted to Britain and its people, since Agricola's claim to fame was that as governor for seven years he had completed the conquest of Britain, begun four decades earlier. Germany provides an account of Rome's most dangerous enemies, the Germans, and is the only surviving example of an ethnographic study from the ancient world. Each book in its way has had immense influence on our perception of Rome and the northern barbarians. This edition reflects recent research in Roman-British and Roman-German history and includes newly discovered evidence on Tacitus' early career. About the Series: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

About the Author ANTHONY BIRLEY (1937) Es un escritor, arqueólogo y profesor universitario, es una autoridad mundial en Historia Antigua. Impartió clases en la Universidad de Manchester entre 1974 y 1990, y en la Heinrich Heine de Düsseldorf entre 1990 y 2002, además de ser profesor visitante en la Universidad de Newcastle.

Sin embargo, sus obras más reconocidas son las biografías de tres de los mejores emperadores romanos: Adriano, Marco Aurelio y Septimio Severo, todas ellas publicadas por Gredos. Product Description Esta es la biografía más exhaustiva que se ha escrito hasta ahora sobre el emperador Adriano, una figura fundamental para entender el devenir político e histórico del Imperio romano. Anthony Birley logra un retrato personal e íntimo de un hombre odiado en el momento de su muerte y enormemente respetado con el paso del tiempo. «El carácter de Adriano era desconcertante y contradictorio: severo y jovial, afable y duro, impetuoso y dubitativo, mezquino y generoso, hipócrita y franco, cruel y compasivo, y siempre mudable en todo siendo una sola persona».
