It offers fascinating descriptions of the geography, climate and peoples of the country, and a succinct account of the early stages of the Roman occupation, nearly fatally undermined by Boudicca's revolt in AD 61 but consolidated by campaigns that took Agricola as far as Anglesey and northern Scotland. The warlike German tribes are the focus of Tacitus' attention in the \u003ci\u003eGermania\u003c\/i\u003e, which, like the \u003ci\u003eAgricola\u003c\/i\u003e, often compares the behaviour of 'barbarian' peoples favourably with the decadence and corruption of Imperial Rome.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48135653163166,"sku":"UBD-9780140455403","price":26.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9780140455403.jpg?v=1786626425","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9780140455403","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
