《阿古利可拉传》与塔西陀的史学思想

《Biography of Agricola》and Tacitus's Historian Ideology

《阿古利可拉传》因其所记述的人物与作者的特殊关系 ,长期以来未能引起史学界的重视。事实上 ,该篇传记正是作者史学思想臻于成熟的重要标志。传记中所表达出来的史学思想为其以后的史学著作所证实。传记中的褒谀 ,并不能完全说是作者对其岳父的溢美之词 ,它包含着作者对罗马共和时代古朴淳厚社会道德的深切怀念和对帝制的深恶痛绝。

For a long time,《Biography of Agricola 》(《 De Vita Iulii Agricolae》)has not been taken seriously by the historian circle because of the special relation between the hero and Tacitus.In reality, the biography marked the maturity of the author's historian ideology.The praise given to his father in law in the biography is not just words of fulsome praise, but it contains the author's deep feelings are his yearning for the simple and unsophisticated morality in Roman republican times, and his hatred for monarchy.
