[QUOTE="Parthicus Maximus, post: 3788265, member: 102867"]A very respectable position. I am currently reading The Emperor Domitian by Brian Jones. He sketches a realistic picture of the life of Emperor Domitian, it is very interesting. As for the Battle of Mons Graupius, the size of it is highly debated. the question is precisely whether Tacitus is exaggerating a little to bring a high point to his book Agricola. However, it is also just what classical author you read about the Germanic campaigns. Frontinus is remarkably positive. The question is which author is more reliable? the one who writes during the reign of an authoritarian ruler Or the one who writes afterwards? It is a difficult question to answer.[/QUOTE]
