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