Question

Christopher B. Krebs referred to one work by this historian as (15[1])“A Most Dangerous Book” for its description of (15[1])“a distinct unadulterated people.” Three works by this historian (15[1])were found by a German monk in a manuscript called the Codex Hersfeldensis. (15[1])This historian blamed the poor state of education for the decline of rhetoric in his Dialogue (15[2])on Oratory. (15[1]-5[1])This historian attributed the possibly erroneous line “They make a (*) desert (10[1])and call it peace” (10[6])to the (10[1])chieftain (10[1]-5[1])Calgacus (10[1])in a work describing his (10[2])father-in-law’s governorship of Britannia. (10[1])A (10[1])work that begins with an (10[1])account of the Year (10[1])of the Four Emperors was written by this author (-5[1])of Germania and (10[1])Agricola. (-5[1])For (10[1])10 points, name (10[1])this Roman historian who chronicled much of (-5[1])first-century Rome in his (10[1])Histories (10[1])and Annals. ■END■ (10[1]0[3])
