The best place to start is probably the sources ! e.g. Tacitus 'Annals' II.10....readily available as a 'Penguin' classic in paperback in English......
or available online here:- http://classics.mit.edu/Tacitus/annals.html
"dulce et decorum est pro patria mori " - Horace

Quote:Please could anybody help with any book relating to the battle of idistavisus AD16?Tacitus' account is in Annals 2.16-18. (The old Church & Brodribb translation has "Idistavisus", but it's usually known as Idistaviso.) |
