Tacitus

Tacitus (ca. 56–after 118 C.E.), or Cornelius Tacitus, a Latin historian who became praetor in 88 C.E. and held various government posts, was the author of Agricola (a biography of his father-in-law, Julius Agricola), Germania (on German history and beliefs), the Dialogues (on the decline of oratory), and Histories and Annals, both of which are only partially extant (and whose titles were assigned in the sixteenth century).
