This paper explores a reinterpretation of Claudius Ptolemy's depiction of Germania Magna, proposing that extensive landscape transformations occurred due to postglacial land uplift and tectonic activities. The author suggests that Germania Magna, as described by Ptolemy, corresponds roughly to the modern Federal Republic of Germany, excluding parts of present-day Poland. The study delves into geological processes such as the reactivation of the Caledonian Deformation Front and tectonic forces causing land uplift. It discusses possible causes for the regression of the Oceanus Germanicus, including shifts in relative sea levels and volcanic activity. Additionally, the paper examines historical climate data to infer warmer temperatures during Ptolemy's time and the Middle Ages. The author hypothesizes migration patterns of seafaring tribes to the islands of Germania Magna and suggests connections to Viking settlements. Archaeological evidence, including ship finds, is reinterpreted in light of landscape changes. The study proposes a closer link between the Alpine orogeny and the uplift of Scandinavia, suggesting a complex interplay of geological forces shaping Northern Europe's landscape. Finally, it discusses the formation of geological features such as graben structures and their implications for understanding the region's geological history.

Described by two prominent twentieth century leftist academics as one of the "most dangerous books ever written," Roman historian Tacitus's 98 AD work Germania is credited with almost single-handedly creating modern German nationalism after the manuscript's rediscovery in 1462. Originally titled "On the Origin and Situation of the Germanic Peoples" (De Origine et situ Germanorum), it provides a vivid survey of the physical, cultural, and behavioral characteristics of the German people in what the Romans called Germania Magna-"Greater Germany"-that area east of the Rhine River. Germania begins with a description of the lands, laws, and customs of the Germanic people, and then moves on to detailed descriptions of the individual tribes all the way up to the Baltic Sea. This includes Tacitus's famous description of the Germans as a "pure and unmixed race" with Nordic racial characteristics. It then describes the Germanic systems of government, religion, the egalitarian status of women in German society, and even a form of folk assembly, or parliament, at which important decisions were made by common vote and consensus, among many other things. All copies of Germania were lost during the Middle Ages and the work was forgotten until a single manuscript was rediscovered. At that time, most of Germany was known as the Holy Roman Empire, and the word "Germani" was almost never used. The book's rediscovery and distribution directly led to the widespread use of that word once again, and it was first used in a nationalist sense in 1471 during a crusade against the invading Turks. In 1956, Jewish historian Arnaldo Momigliano, professor at University College, London, described Germania as "among the most dangerous books ever written," and in 2008, professor Christopher Krebs, assistant professor of Classics at Harvard produced a separate book on the topic called A Most Dangerous Book: Tacitus's Germania from the Roman Empire to the Third Reich, in which he claimed that all top Nazis were familiar with the work, including racial scientist Hans F.K. Gunther. The second work in this book, Agricola, originally titled "On the life and character of Julius Agricola" (De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae) is a biographical work which tells the story of the author's father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, one of the most prominent Roman generals who took part in the final conquest of Britain. It includes many valuable comments about the racial characteristics of the pre-Roman British people and society, as well as fascinating details of the conquest of Britain and of how Agricola served as governor of the new province.

“The first biography of an important personality from the beginnings of Rome’s empire” (Graham Sumner, coauthor of Arms and Armour of the Imperial Roman Soldier). Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus (Drusus the Elder) was the first conqueror of Germania (the Netherlands and Germany) and one of ancient Rome’s most beloved military heroes. Yet there has never been a full volume dedicated to his remarkable story, achievements, and legacy. Eager for Glory brings this heroic figure back to life for a modern audience. Drusus was a stepson of Augustus through his marriage to Livia. As a military commander he led daring campaigns by sea and land that pushed the northern frontiers of Rome’s empire to the Elbe River. He oversaw one of the largest developments of military infrastructure of the age. He married Marc Antony’s daughter, Antonia, and fathered Germanicus, Rome’s most popular general, and the future emperor Claudius. He was grandfather of Caligula. He died when he was only twenty-nine and was revered in death. Drawing on ancient texts, evidence from inscriptions and coins, the latest findings in archaeology, as well as astronomy and medical science, Lindsay Powell has produced a long overdue and definitive account of this great Roman.

Translated by Alfred J. Church. Germania, or in its original Latin, "De Origine et situ Germanorum," is Roman historian Tacitus's in-depth account of the culture, tribal structure, society, and physical appearance of the ancient German tribes located to the east of the Rhine River, what the Romans called "Germania Magna" or "Greater Germany." Germania described the lands, laws, and customs of the individual German tribes from the Rhine River to the northern Baltic Sea, including full details on their systems of government, religion, the egalitarian status of women in German society, and even a form of folk assembly, or parliament, at which important decisions were made by common vote and consensus. It remains history's most valuable resource on that period. Agricola, or in its original Latin, "De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae" is a biographical work based on the life of Tacitus's father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, one of the most prominent Roman generals who took part in the final conquest of Britain. It provides many fascinating details of the Roman conquest of Britain, and of how Agricola served as governor of the new province. Publius Cornelius Tacitus (56 AD-120 AD) was a Roman senator and widely regarded as the most reliable and greatest of all Roman historians.

“The story of a Roman Emperor that might have been” (Fighting Times). Germanicus was regarded by many Romans as a hero in the mold of Alexander the Great. His untimely death, in suspicious circumstances, ended the possibility of a return to a more open republic. This, the first modern biography of Germanicus, is in parts a growing-up story, a history of war, a tale of political intrigue, and a murder mystery. In this highly readable, fast paced account, historical detective Lindsay Powell details Germanicus’s campaigns and battles in Illyricum and Germania; tracks him on his epic tour of the Eastern Mediterranean to Armenia and down the Nile; evaluates the possible causes of his death; and reports on the cruel fate his wife, Agrippina, and their children suffered at the hands of Praetorian Guard commander, and Tiberius’s infamous deputy, Aelius Sejanus.

This incredible history was written by the Roman historian Publius Cornelius Tacitus around 98 AD. It is a well-written historical and ethnographic work on the Germanic tribes outside the Roman Empire. The writer brilliantly describes the Germanic people's lands, laws, and customs. In addition, it tells about individuals, beginning with those living closest to Roman lands and ending on the shores of the Baltic.

One man's greatest victory. Rome's greatest defeat. A.D. 9: In the depths of the Teutoburg Wald, in a landscape riven by ravines, darkened by ancient oak and bisected by fast-flowing streams, Arminius of the Cherusci led a confederation of six Germanic tribes in the annihilation of three Roman legions. Deep in the forest almost twenty thousand men were massacred without mercy; fewer than two hundred of them ever made it back across the Rhine. To Rome's shame, three sacred Eagles were lost that day. But Arminius wasn't brought up in Germania Magna - he had been raised as a Roman. This is the story of how Arminius came to turn his back on the people who raised him and went on to commit a betrayal so great and so deep, it echoed through the ages. ______________________________________________ Don't miss Robert Fabbri's epic new series Alexander's Legacy
