The unknown has always attracted and fascinated human beings and has led them to go
beyond their own limits. The point is that all those who interact with their surrounding world
are progressively trying to increase their experiences and so their real sophia.
Some have even made a point of sharing their testimony, of leaving their work to posterity.
In Agricola, Tacitus gives us the profile of a man whose moral integrity should be remembered by
future generations, not only because of his military performance, but also due to his humanity.
In this biography, space element is always associated with this man’s life and is in panegyric
service, a demand of the biographical speech.
In this short study, we will try to understand the importance of the physical space of Britain
in one of Tacitus’ minor works. Besides, as we speak about space, we will also approach questions
directly connected not only with physical geography, but also with human geography known
in the first century d.C.. We will also find out, among many others aspects, the exactitude of
geographical localization and phenomena observed in loco concerning with the durability of
day and night, which have an extremely important influence on the lives of those who inhabit
in those areas.
