A book by Tacitus, written in AD 98 is dedicated to his father-inlaw and to Germania. The title of his work is translated by Harold Mattingly,1884- 1964 and is known as "The Agricola and the Germania" (Penguin Classics). Harold Mattingly was a distinguished numismatist . He worked at the British Museum from 1910 to 1948 . He studied Roman coinage and as a classical scholar and historian his interests were wide-ranging. A revised translation was undertaken by S.A. Handford , 1898 - 1978, who was educated at Balliol College, Oxford and a lecturer at several places including King's College, London. Both, Mattingly and Hanford published several books and articles.
