Julius Agricola (consul and governor of Britain). Quaestor AD Praetor AD 88. Quindecimvir Sacris Faciundis AD 88. Legionary Legate AD Governor of a minor province AD 92. Consul in 97. Begins publishing careers AD 98. Governed Western Anatolia or Asia, as proconsul from

AD 98. Publishes Agricola and Germania. Agricola a biography of his father-in-law and indictment of the Emperor Domitian. Germania. An ethnography of the German tribes. c. AD 102. Publishes Dialogus de Oratoribus. A slightly tongue-in-cheek work on the art of oratory. Post-AD 102. Historiae. A history of the Roman Empire from AD c. 115 AD. Annales. A history of the Roman Empire from AD

Oratorical and philosophical background Served in courts throughout his career Gallic background, connections to Agricola Political career advances under Domitian and Nerva Friendship with Pliny the Younger, also connected to Suetonius Tranquillus, the biographer

Published c. 115 The second of his major historical works Deals with period AD Reigns of the Julio-Claudian Emperors Probably in 18 books (sets of 6). Only have books 1-part of 5; 6; Information supplemented by Dio Cassius’ great history of Rome and Suetonius Tranquillus, Lives of the Twelve Caesars

Strongly influenced by annalistic form of Republican history writing Can see influences of Greek historian, Thucydides but also Roman historians Sallust and Livy, as well as more scurrilous style of the contemporary biographer Suetonius Tranquillus. Interest in psychological motivations and morality of his leading characters. Explores contrasts freedom v. slavery; masculinity v. femininity; domestic v. foreign; war v. peace.
