La Germanie by Cornelius Tacitus
QR code
"La Germanie" by Cornelius Tacitus is an ethnographic work written around 98 AD. Originally titled "On the Origin and Situation of the Germans," it describes the lands, laws, and customs of Germanic peoples living beyond Rome's borders. Tacitus details their physical characteristics, government structures, gender roles, and tribal divisions, drawing on secondhand sources since he never traveled to Germania himself. This minor work was largely forgotten until its rediscovery in 1425 sparked
intense interest among German humanists. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
