A Tacitus Reader: Selections from Agricola, Germania, Dialogus, Historiae and Annales (Bc Latin Readers) (Latin Edition)

This is a great introduction to Tacitus. I find the violence comment funny since it is covering the Pictish wars during the reign of Domitian and other aspects of the reign of Nero. The notes are helpful for my advance students. It is challenging with the notes in back but not insurmountable. I think Rutledge picked some wonderful passages of a challenging Roman author. The introduction is great. A little bigger bibliography would be nice. Really sold book choice for a student trying to read after their first encounter with authentic Latin (think 400 level college or 5th year high school)
