(Henri) 1872 1937 Petitmangin, Henri La Germanie Texte latin avec introduction, notes et lexique des noms propres Produced by Laurent Vogel, Bibimbop, Juliet Sutherland and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "La Germanie" by Cornelius Tacitus is a historical account written in the late 1st century. The work provides a detailed description of the geography, tribes, customs, and social structures of the Germanic peoples, exploring their way of life in contrast to Roman civilization. Tacitus's observations are rooted in both firsthand accounts and earlier writings, presenting a complex portrait of the so-called "barbarians." The opening of "La Germanie" introduces the geographical context of the Germanic region, outlining its boundaries and the various tribes inhabiting the area. Tacitus emphasizes the Germanic people's purity of race and unique customs that set them apart from other cultures. He starts by describing the physical landscapes, the tribes' military practices, and their governance, noting their customs regarding marriage, religion, and justice. Through this initial section, Tacitus establishes a framework for understanding Germanic society, while also hinting at the contrasts with the decadence he perceives in his own Roman society.
