Agricola by Tacitus @ MLK Jr. Memorial Library

Happy holidays, Greek and Roman classics fans! We'll be skipping December and reconvening in January to discuss Agricola by Tacitus, a work that recounts the life of the writer's father-in-law, a powerful general in the Roman army. According to one description, the book has themes of "honor, duty, and the challenges of virtuous living under an oppressive regime.”

Also, since it is the giving season, please consider supporting the club! A meetup organizer account requires a subscription of about $300 per year, so any help is very much appreciated!

You can obtain a translation of the text here or through whichever method you prefer.

As usual, we will meet in the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library in the 205-B Accessibility Room, located on the second floor at the back of the Center for Accessibility. The library should be available to those of you coming on the red/yellow/green lines via Gallery Place and those on the blue/silver/orange lines via Federal Triangle. See you there!
