In the Germania Tacitus provides the most-detailed extant account of the German peoples in Antiquity. This edition is one of two which claim to be the first in English for over sixty years. It contains both text and translation and a brief commentary, with an appendix of illustrations of Domitianic coins.

Synopsis:
Tacitus' Germania has been, for decades, almost exclusively the province of German-speaking scholars. Their interest requires no explanation, since no other people has been able to evoke an ancient piece of literature as such an integral part of their modern history as the Germans. Yet this significant work should be readily available to all students of classical antiquity. The present volume offers the first new commentary in English in more than sixty years which incorporates recent Tacitean studies and archaeological discoveries. With text and facing translation, the work becomes readily accessible to all readers.
