Tacitus wrote Agricola and Germania by Tacitus as a historical account for the Roman Empire and its affairs around 98 AD. The first part of the book is a personal tribute to his father-in-law Agricola whom he so dearly honored. Based on the first sentences of his book, he is compelled to tell the story of a man who is worthy to be written about and remembered. He mentions in the first part of his book that a personal that “men even felt that to tell their own life’s story showed self-confidence rather

because of the warm climate. Unlike the west, eastern Russia is covered in permafrost and the Arctic Ocean is frozen parts of the year, so trade is difficult and dangerous. Since the Rhine River flows through the eastern part of Germany, eastern Germany is more densely populated than western Germany, because the Rhine River is used to trade goods among many different countries.

in the north of the Frankish Empire. For instance, located in the northern region of the Frankish Empire, on the banks of the Rhine River, were the churches of Cologne and Mainz, which were important to the Carolingian civilization (Mayr-Harting, 1996).
