{"product_id":"9781316053416","title":"Tacitus: Agricola","description":"The first work of any great historian has always commanded attention, and Tacitus was ancient Rome's very greatest historian. His biography of his father-in-law, governor of Britain in the years AD 77–84, is a literary masterpiece: it combines penetrating political history with gripping military narrative and throughout poses the question (still very much alive today) of how one should live one's life under a tyranny. This is the first commentary in English on the Agricola for almost half a century: in keeping with the aims of the series, particular attention is paid to the understanding of Tacitus' Latin, but a whole range of generic, historical, textual and narrative topics is covered, and it will be suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students as well as scholars. Tacitus' Agricola remains a key text for anyone with an interest in Roman Britain as well as ancient biography.","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47133575020784,"sku":"9781316053416","price":28.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781316053416_p0.jpg?v=1763706809","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781316053416","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
