TACITUS
By Ronald Syme
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1958
ISBN: 978-0198143277
Syme’s two-volume Tacitus is still the go-to account for any investigation into the historian and his works. The Batavian Revolt is no exception. Syme’s every page contains insights and analysis that is very modern despite its age. More often than not, his judgements are supported by scholarship undertaken decades after he wrote.
