LATI 4060 - Tacitus Agricola

Effective Date 04/13/2021
In a biography that chiefly covers his father-in-law Agricola’s time as governor of Britain, the bracingly caustic historian Tacitus suggests that maybe not everything the Romans did in the provinces was entirely admirable. In this course, we will not only read the primary text with care and precision, but also discuss scholarship on literary, cultural, and historical questions raised by the work.
