Query: More than another translation

In this Clarendon Ancient History Series edition, James Rives has given us much more than another translation. Enough background materials and commentary are provided to give a reader all that is needed for an informed understanding of this important historical text.Conflicting theories are treated in an even-handed manner and the author's conclusions are well reasoned. The actual text is an easy to read, yet pleasingly accurate version of the original Latin in which the surviving copies of the Germania were written.A hefty price for a paperback, but in this instance it is one justified by the wealth of information the book contains.
