Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Examines the portrayal of Britain in Tacitus' Agricola as a geographical entity, and in particular considering the importance of its insularity in contemporary Roman thought. The paper looks at the context of Tacitus' work in Roman tradition; the significance of Britain's remoteness, and of the Western Ocean and its islands as places of liminality; and at the physical and intellectual conquest of Britain which redefined it as an adjunct of the continent, and in which Agricola took a leading role. The author also looks at the differing perceptions by Tacitus and other Roman writers of the Roman conquerors and the barbarian conquered, and the reasoning behind those perceptions. She looks at Britain as an ideal setting for the res gestae of Agricola, and examines the plausibility of some of the episodes recounted. | ||
