In this book, Gordon provides a detailed commentary on Tacitus' work, exploring the historical context in which it was written, as well as its significance in understanding the culture and society of the Germanic tribes. The book also includes a complete translation of Germania, allowing readers to experience Tacitus' writing in its original form. Overall, Tacitus On Germany is an essential read for anyone interested in ancient history, anthropology, or the cultural traditions of the Germanic people.But to none else but the Priests is it allowed to exercise correction, or to inflict bonds or stripes. Nor when the Priests do this, is the same considered as a punishment, or arising from the orders of the general, but from the immediate command of the Deity, Him whom they believe to accompany them in war. They therefore carry with them when going to fight, certain images and figures taken out of their holy groves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
