Agricola

The "Agricola" is a book written by the Roman historian Tacitus around 98 AD. It tells the story of Gnaeus Julius Agricola, a respected general in ancient Rome who was also Tacitus' father-in-law. Along with Agricola's life, the book briefly discusses the geography and people of ancient Britain. Tacitus paints a picture of the native Britons as free and virtuous, in contrast to the corrupt and oppressive Roman Empire. The "Agricola" is a valuable historical account of ancient Rome and provides insight into the culture and beliefs of the time.
