Tácitus, Germania, RomeAbstract
Among the works of Tacitus, Germania occupies a singular position for its ethnographic genre, which is not common in ancient historiography. However, an internal political reading in support of Trajan is possible. The concept of libertas among the Germans has several meanings: tha highlights are independence from the Romans and the lack of development of political institutions. In connection with the Roman world, libertas must be compatible with the Prince, with the laws and with the Concordia, understood as civic ideal.Downloads
