I really like the Tacitus quotation from Chapter 15 of_Agricola_ with which you open your translation. How appropriate today, as our economic Imperators have decided that it is time for us to bear the ever greater burdens of increasing global poverty, so that they can take home ever larger million-dollar bonuses. Do you think that our ever-more-integrated planetary population might ever find that uniformity of thought ... that consensus ... that single-mindedness of purpose that the Brittons arrived at when they ...

"considered among themselves the evils of servitude, and compared the injustices they were suffering, and so, inflamed by these deliberations, decided that nothing was to be gained by _patientia_, except that they would be ordered to bear even weightier burdens, to the extent that they were willing to bear them without complaint"

Thanks for your work ...
