This is a first note on the upcoming book chat on The Agricola and The Germania and The Barbarians Speak: How the Conquered Peoples Shaped Roman Europe.
See my recent blog post.
The chats are scheduled for October 4 & 18, but may be extended for another night.
I think it's best that we split this into The Agricola (October 4) and Germania / Barbarians (October 18), as the former is largely a biography and the latter two's connection is ethnography.
On the face of it, The Agricola is rather short, but I've searched JSTOR – unfortunately not available to all, I give daily thanks to my generous public library – and on brief scanning, there is a lot of food for thought, so I will assemble discussion points over the next week or so. (With the appropriate JSTOR links for those who do have access.)
