Work Description
This book traces the Roman writer's portrait of the "ancient Germans" from its genesis and political context in the 1st and 2nd century CE over its survival through the Middle Ages and rediscovery in the Renaissance to the Third Reich. It thereby examines the book's influence on the internal and external image of the Germans, as distinguished from the "Germanen", the original subject of the study.
