We live today with the effects of the rise and fall of the Roman Empire, so to understand where we are, we must know where we were. Tacitus was an ancient Roman historian that gives us a deep look at one period in Rome's chaotic story. While Tacitus doesn't provide us all we need to know the story of 'us', he does fill in important gaps, which means that Tacitus and his "Histories" is essential reading.

Cornelius Tacitus (ca. 56-120 e.Kr) var født i en provinsiel familie af ridderstanden, antagelig i det nordlige Italien eller det sydlige Gallien. Som ung mand studerede han retorik for at forberede sig på en karriere inden for jura og politik.I 98 udgav han Germanien, som beskrev samfund, levevis, sædvaner og religiøse forestillinger hos en del germanske stammer samt gav en samlet, etnografisk oversigt over folkene nord for Romerriget.
