The question often comes up.....what was the religion and culture of the Germanic tribes like long before the viking age when we were all one people? This source provides the best answer we have to that question.
Tacitus was a Roman historian living in the 1st century. He recorded a hectic time when Rome was doing much of its expansion into other areas of Europe. Germania is a detailed record of the Germanic tribes and their culture, behaviors, religion, names, way of life and much more. This is at a time where these tribes were all speaking 1 language and following the same religion that would over time develop into all the separate Germanic peoples such as the Scandinavians, Dutch, Anglo-Saxons, Goths, Germans, Lombards, Franks and many more. This is the source that best describes how we all were before our culture separated.
In addition, the famous book Agricola is also included here, which is a portrait of Julius Agricola, the most famous governor of Roman Britain, and the first detailed account of Britain that has come down to us. This is a great source about how the natives of Britain were before the times we have other records of.
