WIXOM, Mich., Oct. 21, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Kiekert AG, the world's leading supplier of automotive lock systems and components, is investing $2 million to expand its U.S. headquarters and production facilities in Michigan.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20131021/DE00936LOGO )
Employment at the company's 50,000 square-foot plant, in the Detroit suburb of Wixom, is expected to increase significantly. Today, the majority of the company's 80 employees are focused on engineering and program management. Kiekert is confident it will increase its total employees to more than 120 within the next 12 months.
Located in Oakland County, the plant currently produces door-latch modules for Ford. As the leading engineering and program management center for the NAFTA region the Kiekert U.S. location is responsible for approximately $180 million in revenues.
Kierkert's CEO, Dr. Karl Krause, said the expansion includes the installation of new production, prototyping and product-test equipment, extensive office renovations, and the addition of a new technology showroom.
He added that production at the Wixom plant is expected to increase from an estimated 350,000 door-latch modules this year to more than 1.5-million units in 2015. Annual sales are projected to nearly triple to more than $35 million over the same three-year period.
Headquartered in Heiligenhaus, Germany, Kiekert opened its Wixom plant in 1995 and has had facilities in the Detroit area for more than 25 years.
Known for its innovative products and technology, the tier one automotive supplier recently unveiled a new, lighter-weight safety system to prevent car and light-truck doors from opening during accidents. The company's active inertia system requires fewer components, takes up less space and provides potential weight saving options of up to half of a kilogram per vehicle.
About the size of two small match boxes, the unique system is designed to fit into a vehicle's door latch and prevents the latch from opening during an accident. Conventional systems are built into the door itself.
The German-based supplier's global product portfolio currently includes side-door latches, latch modules, trunk-lid latches and actuators. With more than 900 patents, the company serves as a development partner to automakers around the world with products on more than 50 brands worldwide.
The company's $2 million investment in its U.S. facilities is part of a global expansion plan. Kiekert established a full development and production center in Changshu, China, five years ago, which doubled production capacity last year. The locking system producer is currently expanding its Prelouc production operations in the Czech Republic, which is the biggest latch producing plant in the world, and will open a new plant in Naberezhnye Chelny, Russia early next year.
Worldwide, the company employs more than 4,500 people and expects to report sales of more than $850 million for the 2013 calendar year.

I love knowing about the red and purple tags. I'm usually more of a T.J. Maxx girl than a Marshalls girl (just because of location), but I'll definitely have to check Marshalls out now.
Making the Most of Shopping at Marshalls
Famous for affordable luxuries and discount home goods, Marshalls is also a great place to shop for other things, such as career clothing, Christmas presents, and baby shower gifts. If you want the best bargain shopping experience available however, it pays to go in with a plan. Here's how I make the most of any shopping trip to Marshalls. (See also: Tips for Perusing the Perimeter at Target)
How to Shop
Having a few penny-pinching strategies up your sleeve will go a long way towards making sure you get the price point you're hoping for. This relates as much to how you shop as what you actually shop for.
Look for Red Tags
If you're wondering how much longer you should wait for the price to drop on an item you've been coveting, wonder no more. Once an inventory item has reached the point of receiving a red sticker, the price has dropped as low as it is going to. According to Sonya Cosentini, a Marshalls style expert, red tags indicate a clearance item. What's more, clearance markdowns are made at only two times per year (July and January), when the chain is making room for new fall and spring merchandise, respectively.
...But Also Keep an Eye Out for Purple
Cosentini points to purple as another color to be on the lookout for while scouring your local Marshalls. Apparently, the lavender stickers denote high-end merchandise by designers you are likely to see on the runway during Fashion Week. Items of this sort can range from shoes to jackets and offer significantly greater savings. These fashion finds move quickly, however, so don't be surprised if your first few forays into the store don't result in the discovery of the coveted purple sticker. I spent a couple of hours during my sleuthing session without noticing a single one. Persistence is key however, so those with a bit of time on their hands should eventually find success.
Patience Will Be Rewarded
While it's typically possible to go in and grab a last-minute gift without difficulty, finding just the right clothing item to replace a critical wardrobe piece may take a few tries. Always having a list of classic items you're looking to replace or upgrade will enable you to pounce on any hot deals that make their way to the Marshalls racks. Jeans, black dress pants, workout wear, and seasonal wraps all come to mind as frugal fashion pieces that are worth the wait when you're looking for the right deal.
Compare Prices to Sniff Out Savings
While Marshalls always has a price comparison listed on each item's store tag, I've found that for some reason, these can be more of a conservative estimate. That's why I like to check for the original price tags to see how much more I might actually be saving, particularly on clothing items. For example, I recently purchased a reversible Ralph Lauren dress belt for my husband. The Marshalls price was $16.99 with a "compare at" listing of $55. While that was a decent deal in its own right, I noticed that the original price tag from Ralph Lauren showed an even higher original price of $95. A quick internet search upon arriving home confirmed the cost, but I could have easily accomplished this on site with a price comparison shopping app. I guess it's not really a big deal since I'm saving money either way, but I found the price difference of note, and it's nice to know when I'm getting an even greater savings opportunity.
Become the Store Manager's Best Friend
Boatloads of new items arrive in Marshalls stores weekly. Buddying up with the managers is a great way to stay informed as to when shipments including your favorite brands will be delivered. Remember, their job is to move merchandise. So if you're prepared to power shop, don't be afraid to let them know. This is also a fab strategy for sought-after seasonal items such as specialty chocolates, back-to-school goodies, or holiday ornaments.
If Necessary, Haul in the Professionals
It's a discount store, remember? That means wide aisles and other streamlined shopping perks aren't necessarily as prevalent. I'm not saying Marshalls doesn't do their best to make it as pleasant as possible, but when you have that many categories of items in a smaller retail space, it's inevitable that you'll eventually need to ask for help. The other day, I was hoping to find a particular item and for the life of me I thought I'd looked everywhere it could possibly be. I hadn't. Which is why I'm glad I was so shameless about flagging down a clerk to point me in the right direction. I was able to get the item that I wanted (a travel case for reading glasses) at a price point I could afford (roughly $5).
What to Buy
Some product categories offer more spectacular savings than others. While a great deal of the purchasing decisions for any shopper will be personal in nature, there are a few categories that most of us shop for at one time or another.
Shoes, Shoes, and More Shoes
OK, maybe not that many. But of all the shopping categories up for grabs at this retail chain, the shoe department is one of the most extensive. They have a number of higher-end brands at greatly reduced prices, making them one of my go-to sources for seasonal replacements, special-occasion shoes, and reconnaissance for classic options I'm looking to add to my wardrobe. Once a year, I usually pick up a pair of Ann Klein t-strap, high-heeled sandals in black. I wear these frequently with jeans, dress pants and mid-calf dresses. They're a casually dressy footwear option that will let you show off a pedicure and are easily tucked into a tote purse when you need to slip on something sturdier for a couple of hours of shopping. I've also scored Born shoes at 80% off, and glittery special-occasion sandals when the situation demanded it.
Goodies for the Guys
I realize that most of the time, these shopping tips articles tend to leave the guys out in the cold. That's why I made sure to give the men's section of Marshalls a thorough going over when I drove down to research this article. Items of note included belts, brand-name sport and dress socks, and a number of gift items such like traveling shoe care kits, Rockport and Woolrich slippers, and fragrance selections. There is also decent men's fashion selection, although it's not as extensive as the women's one.
Hostess Items
Entertaining guests in your home at any time of year requires a variety of serving items, and this is one area where Marshalls has a fair amount to offer. Serving trays and platters, barware, and even a brushed steel cake server were on the shelves on the day I did my walk through. Also present are many excellent items to bring as hostess gifts when someone else is throwing an event, such as gourmet food items for gift baskets, sparkling organic juices, scented candles, and gift-worthy Christmas ornaments.
Classic Gifts
Special gift-giving occasions take place all year long, and when you want to give an elegant present without breaking the bank, it's nice to have a place to go where the bargain selection is a bit snazzier than the dollar store. Don't get me wrong — dollar stores definitely have their place, and I shop that circuit for many items, including gift wrapping supplies. But when I'm shopping for a baby shower, graduation, or wedding, I'm usually searching for a way to give the best gift I can on a budget. And while the selection changes weekly, I know there'll always be something I can pick up when those events arise. Also of note are a variety of items suitable for children's gifts (love those board games), classroom supplies, and even stocking stuffers.
Personal Care Items
From facial hair grooming tools for men to hair care products for women, there's always something available at Marshalls when I want to step up our collective "beauty" routine at home. Recent finds include discounted Bed Head shampoo and conditioner and Body Shop body butter for $5. Normally, a basic lotion and sunscreen make up the bulk of my skin care routine, but every once in a while it's nice to have a more luxurious moisturizing treatment on hand. Particularly during the winter months when elbows, heels, and other areas need a bit more TLC.
Spa Treats
Looking for some luxurious items to stock your at-home spa bathroom? If you're not stuck on searching for a particular brand and are open to adventure, then stop by on a deal-sleuthing trip and see what you find. Again, these are the kinds of items that rotate in and out weekly, so shopping with a particular brand and scent in mind could very well end in frustration. That being said, heading into the store with an open mind could result in some seriously fun finds. A few that caught my eye on my last visit to Marshalls were cupcake guest soaps, pomegranate bath pearls, and a reasonable selection of scented French lotions all priced at a level comparable with generic bargain brands at my local big-box store.
Bed Linens
One of the things that kept us from upgrading to a king-sized bed long before we did was a concern over the cost of bed linens. When you pay full price, the cost difference between queen and king can be significant. But as I mentioned in my article Savings in Every Room, hitting discounts stores such as Marshalls makes purchasing these items as affordable as it would be for a smaller size of bed at the regular, full price.
Kitchen Items
As with other Marshalls household items, you are at the mercy of what their buyers were able to negotiate deals for. That being said, there are some seriously slamming gourmet kitchen supplies available here on a regular basis. Stock pots, woks, sauté pans, and more line the shelves, albeit with a fluctuating selection of brands. Since one of the best ways to score cheap food that's also good for you is to prepare it from scratch, young people starting out will be able to stock a much nicer kitchen for less and save money on their grocery bill to boot.
Travel Gear
While it doesn't represent a major portion of their inventory, Marshalls does carry a variety of travel gear. I recently purchased a Swiss Gear toiletry bag for my husband with a separate lower compartment suitable for first aid and pharmaceutical supplies. The $15 price tag was half of what I had paid for another name-brand bag of comparable quality that had been damaged on vacation. While this piece of gear was designed more for adventure travel, there were other brands of shaving kits on the shelves that would appeal to the business or luxury travel crowd.
Additional travel items I spotted on the shelves were hand-held luggage scales, document wallets, and women's business totes designed for traveling light. There's also a luggage section featuring larger pieces for checking and smaller, wheeled carry-on totes. Wardrobe item replacement from the road is also a concern for frequent travelers. Broken heels, torn sweater sets, and ripped dress pants are part and parcel of the road warrior lifestyle. And while you certainly can't expect to waltz in and come out with an exact duplicate of the item you've damaged or lost, you can expect to be able to find something suitable for the duration of your trip and shoes you can feel confident about for your next after-hours business social. With some of the brand options that regularly surface in their inventory, you might even find a clothing item you like better than the one you had to replace.
This is by no means a comprehensive list of savings opportunities you can expect to find at Marshalls, but it does represent the areas of need that arise most frequently in my home and life. Clearly a bit of flexibility and patience are key. If that's OK with you, then you may be able to incorporate the use of this particular retail chain into your long-term arsenal of savings strategies as I have.
My husband is a Chef and is always in Marshalls knife section. He has been able to purchase several Wustof knives at a fraction of the cost of purchasing them anywhere else. I personally like getting my active wear and Lucky Brand jeans there. Lucky jeans are normally between $85 and $130 but they are always $29.99 at Marshalls.
TJ Maxx and Marshalls are owned by the same company, so a lot of these pointers also go for shopping at TJ Maxx. If I find a great deal at Marshalls, I will check the nearest TJ Maxx to see if they have it in stock too. LOVE the kitchen ware sections at both stores.
Hi Diane,
Yes, they are. Apparently there are a few differences, though. I'm working with the reps behind the scenes right now to see if there's enough material to do a similar piece on the other store. If there is, I'll do a companion article in the next couple of months, likely. I too, am a fan of their kitchen department. Seriously, seriously cool stuff there.
Was this article done in exchange for the gift card give-aways? It reads like an extended advertisement. I shop at Marshall frequently, and this article is an over-flattering testimonial, with a mere smidgeon of how-to. That a TJ Max article is being discusses with their "reps"...really?
No. It was not. It was based on my experience there, hence the tips for what I feel are good deals at that particular store. I've written similar pieces on other stores I shop at frequently, and consider such a piece a service. With regards to speaking with reps, it only makes sense to contact a chain's representatives to see if there are additional inside tips I might not know about. Hence the purple and red tag information. Would you have preferred I pulled that information out of my hat? With regards to a future piece on the sister store, if there are additional colors or sales timing tips that differ from Marshalls, then yes. I'd consider that appropriate information to pass along. Interestingly enough, I actually had to kick this up a notch or two in order to confirm the bargain tips on the tags with the actual spokesperson. It's called going the extra mile.
Personally, I resent the implication. Having addressed your accusation, I'll consider this matter closed.
Great article and information!
As a long time shopper of Marshall's and TJMaxx, this article was very helpful. I would like to share a recent experience so no one else goes through the same. My mom bought my dad a $70 Polo sweater which was originally priced at $150 or so. He tried it on but it seemed to "fit unnaturally". It turns out the merchandise was defective and NOT marked as being defective! One sleeve was the medium sized sleeve while the other seemed to be a large sleeve. We went back to the store to find only ONE sweater in that series not having any defects while the rest had the same sleeve problem. Please inspect your items carefully.
Other than that, happy shopping! I am off to look for purple tags now! thanks!

Tacitus c. 56-c. 117
(Full name Publius Cornelius Tacitus; also known as Gaius Cornelius Tacitus) Roman historian.
Considered the greatest historian of Rome and a singularly innovative stylist, Tacitus is best known for his Annals (c. 109-17) and Histories (c. 100-09). Over the course of thirty volumes, these works chronicle the Roman Empire from 14 to 96. A powerful and wealthy senator himself, Tacitus was highly critical of the lack of freedom under the tyrannical state and wrote fondly of earlier days of the Roman Republic and its ideals. But while he despised the corruption and decadence of Rome's newer leaders, he also hated the civil strife and anarchy that could result from a weak government. He also recognized that the time of the Republic had passed and that notable achievements had also been made in his own time. Imbued with a keen sense of responsibility to promote high morals, Tacitus wrote in the Annals: "It seems to me a historian's foremost duty to ensure that merit is recorded, and to confront evil words and deeds with the fear of posterity's denunciations." Unlike traditional historical works, Tacitus's Annals stressed events that represented ordinary, everyday happenings. According to him, it is these trivialities that most often give rise to great events. Tacitus had a rich collection of facts from which to draw, including Senate records and other official reports now lost, as well as memoirs, and oral accounts of eyewitnesses. He wrote in the consciously grand old style of the Golden Age, but he did not use its parallelism, favoring instead unusual syntax and word choice and a brevity that often reached the point of terseness. Tacitus's work influenced many writers and historians including Niccolò Machiavelli, Francis Bacon, John Milton, and Thomas Jefferson, who wrote: "Tacitus I consider the first writer in the world without a single exception. His book is a compound of history and morality of which we have no other example."
Biographical Information
No ancient biography of Tacitus exists, nor did Tacitus write about himself, so little is known of his life. He was born in about 56, probably in the region of Gaul. Although a fifth-century writer reported his first name as Gaius, manuscript evidence supports the name Publius. His family was wealthy and provided him with an excellent education in rhetoric as well as access to the greatest orators of the time. He achieved the rank of senator in 75 or 76, under the rule of Vespasian, and in 77 married the daughter of Gnaeus Julius Agricola. In 88 Tacitus became a praetor. Agricola died in 93 and became the subject of what is believed to be Tacitus's first work, the Agricola (c. 98). Under the emperor Nerva, who ruled from 96 to 98, Tacitus held the office of consul and became one of Rome's leading orators. He published the Germania, a geographical and ethnographical study on the tribes of central and eastern Europe, in about 98. Around 112 he became proconsulate of the wealthy Roman province of Asia, an area now roughly corresponding to Turkey. Tacitus is generally believed to have died sometime after 117.
Major Works
Although it is possible that writing for the Agricola started in 93, shortly after the death of Tacitus's father-in-law, the work was not published until about 98. Beyond its interest as biography, it is an invaluable source for information on the Celts in Britain before the island fell to Roman command. The Germania is a treatise on the customs and traits of the ancient peoples who inhabited the areas north of the Rhine and Danube rivers and is notable as one of the earliest presentations of the image of the Noble Savage, a type Tacitus contrasts to the morally wanting, upper class, modern Roman. The Dialogus (c. 102) consists of discussions between two lawyers and two men of literature concerning the decline of eloquence since the demise of the Republic and the relative merits of oratory and literature. It expresses Tacitus's belief that public speaking had become little more than clever trickery designed to entertain the crowd. The date of the work's publication is subject to some dispute, with at least one scholar arguing that it appeared in 97. The Histories and the Annals are recognized by all critics as Tacitus's masterworks. The Histories as written comprised twelve or fourteen volumes; four books and part of a fifth are extant today. The original work is presumed to have chronicled, year by year, the period from 69 to the end of Domitian's reign in 96; only the coverage of the years 69 and 70 now exists, which includes the emperors Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian. In the Histories Tacitus deplores the loss of political freedom. The Annals, though written after the Histories, covers the years preceding it, from the final days of Augustus in 14 to Nero's forced suicide in 68. Originally the work contained eighteen or sixteen books; the first four books survive, parts of Books V and VI and XI, all of Books XII to XV, and part of XVI, totaling about forty years. Tiberius is the focus of the first six books, including his campaign against Germany, launched in 15, and his turn to violence in 23. Gaius (Caligula) and Claudius are treated in books VII to XII, and Nero in the remainder. It is not certain whether Tacitus completed the Annals by the time of his death.
Critical Reception
Although popular in his time, Tacitus had fallen into obscurity by the fifth century and was scarcely mentioned in print for the next thousand years. The Italian poet Giovanni Boccaccio rediscovered him in the fourteenth century and by the sixteenth century, when his works were translated into English, Tacitus commanded the attention of countless political writers. Translators emphasize the difficulty of rendering adequately Tacitus's complex style and meaning in English. Michael Grant quotes other translators who have attempted the job but declared the task impossible. Grant discusses some of the problems: textual ambiguities and possible errors, with no alternate manuscripts to cross-check; antiquated terms; complex genealogies; and how best to convey the complexity of Tacitus's writing without making it unnatural and unreadable for modern readers. Two major areas of critical interest in Tacitus concern his style and his reliability as an historian. F. R. D. Goodyear contends that a fuller appreciation is gained through analysis of Tacitus's historical method, an assertion supported by Anthony J. Woodman, who explains that ancient historians differed considerably from modern ones, and that what the ancient historians wrote is better served by reading it as literature. Woodman suggests that Tacitus should be read as a poet and is openly skeptical that some of the events reported by him actually occurred. He notes that the Annals is quite different than the Histories. Woodman contends that the Annals demonstrates the obsolescence of conventional historiography, that although Tacitus understandably did not write like a modern historian, he also did not write like ancient historians. Tacitus chose to "pervert the norms of history in order properly to reflect the perversion" which occurred when the republic became an empire. Ellen O'Gorman agrees and contends that, when reading Tacitus, it is bad policy to focus solely on either his politics or his style, for "Tacitus conveys to his readers his conception of imperial politics by enmeshing them in ambiguous and complicated Latin sentences." Ronald Mellor describes Tacitus's style as having "a tone of the utmost gravity with intimations of melancholy and violence lurking just under the surface. It carries a moral and political authority that impresses, even intimidates the reader." His "remarkable combination of nobility and intimacy, of gravity and violence is enormously effective at conveying the underlying sense of fear that pervades the Histories and the Annals." Duane Reed Stuart contends that Tacitus, in his zeal for succinctness, sometimes went too far and rendered his meaning obscure. Stuart stresses, however, that Tacitus typically kept "within artistic bounds and did not overreach himself in an effort to sparkle in every sentence. Hence, he escaped the pitfalls which caught many of his contemporaries in whom the sententious too often degenerates into the banal, the original into the overwrought." Moses Hadas explains that for Tacitus, principals, movements, and great achievements were subordinate to people: "And not humanity in general but individual humans. Always Tacitus strives to penetrate into the thoughts and motives of the actors in his drama. It is Tacitus' skill in delineating characters, particularly intense and theatrical Roman characters, that is apt to strike the reader as his outstanding achievement."

[In the following essay, Stuart provides a biographical sketch of Tacitus and discusses the purpose, form, and style of the Agricola.]
The books of Tacitus show vividly what manner of man he was. The works of no other ancient historian are so impregnated with the author's personality. By reading the writings of Tacitus between the lines it is easy to find out what he thought of the world in which he lived, what his convictions and what his prejudices were.
On the other hand, the information that he gives us directly about his life is very meager. No biography of Tacitus has come down to us from ancient times. It is possible, therefore, to reconstruct his career only in a bare outline in which much rests upon conjecture and surmise.
According to the more reliable tradition our author's full name was Publius Cornelius Tacitus. The year of his birth was probably 55 a.d. His boyhood thus coincided closely with the reign of Nero, 54-68 a.d. We do not know whether Tacitus was a native of Rome or whether he was born outside of the city, as were the other great figures of Roman literature. As to his station in the world there is good reason to believe that his father was a Cornelius Tacitus of the preceding generation, a Roman...

[In the following essay, Hadas discusses Tacitus's life, career, and artistry and evaluates his trustworthiness as an historian.]
The apparent insensitivity of the Romans to their greatest historian is an exasperating accident of our faulty tradition or a melancholy commentary upon their civilization. Until the end of the fourth century when Ammianus Marcellinus, an Antiochene Greek, undertook to write a continuation of Tacitus' histories no writer other than his own friend Pliny makes mention of him. It is true that the Emperor Tacitus (275-276 a.d.) is reported, not improbably though the authority is dubious, to have ordered that ten copies of his putative ancestor's works be made annually and that these be deposited in various libraries. In any case the story would indicate that Tacitus had fallen into oblivion; and it is in fact only through a single mutilated manuscript that Tacitus' greatest work has survived the Middle Ages.
The Younger Pliny was associated with Tacitus in important legal pleading and has left us eleven letters addressed to him. These and a single inscription from Asia Minor are the only evidence for Tacitus' life and works we possess outside those...

[In the following essay, originally delivered as a lecture in 1952, Syme discusses Tacitus's treatment of the problems posed to Rome by Gaul.]
Tacitus on Gaul. The title seems paradoxical, for the name of the historian of imperial Rome is linked for ever with a small work he composed concerning the land of Germany, its tribes and their habits.
The Germania is a precious opuscule. It is unique—yet it is not original. The Germania of Tacitus belongs to a recognizable type, the ethnographical excursus or essay, and it had models and precursors. As one would expect, the Germania exhibits various defects of the genre, especially the use of conventional and inherited motifs. Furthermore, not all of the historical information is up to date. It looks as though Tacitus recorded what he had read in books, not what he had seen and observed. It seems pretty clear that he followed his source very closely, not adding many details.
Much has been written about the Germania of Tacitus, perhaps too much. It has appealed to students of literature, and to historians, to researchers in European origins, to patriots and to politicians. It may be a change and a relief to turn instead and enquire what Tacitus has to say about Gaul. Something may...

[In the following excerpt, Syme analyzes Tacitus's handling of such literary devices as digressions and speeches, praising his skill in portraying assorted Roman orators as individuals.]
The matter was heterogeneous—both literary and documentary, stylized with elegance or baldly prosaic, removed by three generations or recent and personal. How was Cornelius Tacitus to evince his mastery, blending and transmuting? His principal devices are structure, digression, comment, and speeches. And not least, omission—which more recent exponents of imperial Rome have seldom skill or courage to emulate.
The exordium of the Historiae exhibited a technique firm, confident, and mature. The Annales from the opening words go to the limit of brevity and intensity. The prologue falls into two parts, first the vicissitudes of governmental power at Rome, in summary from the Kings to Caesar Augustus, next the character of history-writing and the author's design.1 In the Historiae Tacitus was impelled to say something about his own career in the State, and his relation towards the rulers of Rome, nor could he avoid a senator's tactful homage to Nerva and...

[In the following essay, Goodyear explores Tacitus's complex narrative layout and arrangement of historical events, investigating the argument that many of his reports are unreliable.]
Various analogies have been used to describe Tacitus' way of writing in his historical works. Racine called him 'le plus grand peintre de l'Antiquité'. The analogy of painting is often pertinent, for Tacitus has supreme skill in presenting scenes visually, in catching and highlighting details of gesture and movement, not least so with crowd scenes, as in the mutinies narrated in Ann. [Annals] 1, and with night scenes, as at Ann. 1. 65 and 14. 8. This kind of approach has been used and developed by E. Courbaud in his sensitive and imaginative book Les Procédés d'art de Tacite dans les Histoires,1 and aspects of visual presentation are further explored by H. Hommel.2 The analogy of drama is more influential still. Moriz Haupt said Tacitus 'was born to be a tragic poet', and later critics have taken up the idea variously.3 F. Leo, in his fine characterization of Tacitus,4 argues that for a writer of his time and personality the distinction between poetry and history was blurred, that he is a great 'prose-poet'. More...

[In the following essay, Benario examines the themes of the Agricola, the Germania, and the Dialogus de oratoribus.]
Early in 98, Tacitus published his first work. It was a biography of his father-in-law, Gnaeus Julius Agricola. Agricola was a remarkable man, as great, it might be said, as a private citizen could be in this age. He was born in a.d. 40. His political career is marked by a steady advance through the cursus honorum, culminating in the consulship at an age some five years before the normal or customary year, although it is difficult to speak of a norm during the principate when a man could advance by as many as ten years depending upon the prestige of his family and the number of children whom he sired, since each child brought remission of one year from the minimum age.
Agricola's first public duties were in Britain as military tribune in 60, followed by the quaestorship in 64, when he served in Asia, a tribunate of the plebs in 66, and a praetorship in 68. That year saw the beginning of the upheaval of civil war, and before long he cast his lot with the party of Vespasian, a wise choice as later events proved. In 70 he was returned to Britain as commander of legio XX Valeria Victrix, and followed this tour of...

At the age of eleven I went to a school where boys who came top in Latin were automatically placed top of their class. Although I personally had no objection to this endearing custom, I do not expect everyone to accept the proposition that an aptitude for Latin presupposes an aptitude for other subjects too. But I hope that any disquiet will be somewhat appeased if I admit that the school was Ushaw College, which long ago abandoned its teaching of Latin altogether before entering upon the association with this University which it now enjoys.
At Ushaw I had the great good fortune to be taught by Father Ronald Fox, whose name will be familiar to at least some of my audience. Mr. Fox, as he was known, not only had an expert command of the Greek and Latin languages; he was also enviably gifted at interpreting Greek and Latin as literature—and in a way which his pupils could readily understand and appreciate. It is, I believe, no coincidence that the subjects which he taught me...

Pliny Letter (7, 33) to Tacitus
Though Tacitus was the greatest Roman historian, it was not among Romans, nor even among historians, that he had his greatest impact. In early modern Europe Tacitus's political vision, dramatic images, and incisive moral aphorisms left their mark on poets and philosophers, princes and popes, painters and political theorists. He was regarded not as a mere chronicler of events but as a moralist worthy to be ranked with Plato and Aristotle, as a political thinker whose influence vied with Machiavelli. His vivid portrayal of the tyranny, brutality, and political paranoia of the Roman Empire seemed disturbingly familiar in the absolutist monarchies and the papal states. His histories lent themselves to varied, and sometimes conflicting, interpretations. Republicans and courtiers alike learned from him; German Reformation humanists and English Puritans used him to forward their own agendas; French and American revolutionaries drew inspiration from him. Since the Renaissance Tacitus has occupied a central place in the evolution of political...

[In the following essay, Grant examines the tradition of historiography that preceded Tacitus, his moral sense and how it influenced his writing, and the difficulties a translator faces in trying to do justice to his Latin.]
The powerful personality of Cornelius Tacitus has survived in his writings, but we know extremely little of his life or his origin. Indeed, we are not even sure whether the first of his three names was Publius or Gaius. His family probably came from the south of France or from northern Italy (Cisalpine Gaul). If so, Tacitus—like other leading Latin writers—may not have been of wholly Italian ancestry. But we have no conclusive evidence. His father may have been an imperial agent at Trier or at Cologne, and paymaster-general for the armies on the Rhine; but again we are not certain.
At all events, Tacitus was born in about a.d. 56 or 57 (when Nero was emperor),1 and was a member of the provincial upper class who found new prospects of careers open to them under the imperial regime. He lived and worked until the end of the emperor Trajan's reign (a.d. 98-117), and probably for some years into the reign of...

It was on the last Monday in January exactly fifty years ago that Adolf Hitler became Chancellor of Germany. The event has been described by Alan Bullock in his celebrated book:1
During the morning a silent crowd filled the street between the Kaiserhof and the Chancellery. … At a window of the Kaiserhof, Röhm was keeping an anxious watch on the door from which Hitler must emerge. Shortly after noon a roar went up from the crowd: the Leader was coming. He ran down the steps to his car and in a couple of minutes was back in the Kaiserhof. As he entered the room his lieutenants crowded to greet him. The improbable had happened: Adolf Hitler, the petty official's son from Austria, the down-and-out of the Home for Men, the despatch-runner of the List regiment, had become Chancellor of the German Reich.
This account is not without its drama. There is a brief reference to the waiting crowd and its reaction to Hitler's appearance; and there is a poignant contrast, which Bullock underlines by the word 'improbable', drawn between Hitler's sudden eminence and three of the...

Tacitus is a notoriously difficult writer; the central theme of this study is what the difficulty of Tacitus means and what are the possible ways a reader can respond to this difficulty. Examining what a difficulty means is a rather different action to examining what a difficulty is: in the latter case, we identify difficulty, overcome and disregard it; in the former case we bring it with us, as it were, entering into an ongoing relationship with difficulty. I will argue in this study that what is difficult and obscure in Tacitus' style of writing, what seems to call out for clarification, is central to Tacitus' modality of...

Cellar/Tasting Notes The style of the wine of Chateau Greysac is one of great aromatic finesse combined with good, full body. It is a lovely Medoc with plenty of flavor, sumptuous rich fruit and excellent complexity. Buy it by the case for luxury everyday-affordable enjoyment!
Cellar/Tasting Notes A Morrell Discovery - This inexpensive, Grand Gallius delicious Medoc is a sample of how good the 2009 Bordeaux vintage is. A blend of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, it combines the softness of the Merlot with the structure and backbone of the Cabernet. This is definitely a..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Fine floral, mineral, spicy Cabernet blackfruit aromas... impressive, mouthfilling, palate coating, classic Bordeaux Cabernet flavors... handsome claret at an eminently affordable price."
Cellar/Tasting Notes A Morrell Discovery! We buy most of our Bordeaux Petit Chateaux directly from France, but this little beauty was brought to us by an old friend, Bernard Sparr, of the famous Alsatian Pierre Sparr family wines. When Bernard was young his father sent him to New York to work at Morrell & Company so he..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Indicative blend: 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot. The harvests are carried out by hand and an "orchestration" to compose the best possible wine begins - balanced and harmonious, allowing the fruit to achieve its fullest expression. Château Preuillac are powerful, robust and rich in flavors,..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Second wine of Chateau Preuillac. After the harvests, carried out exclusively by hand, begins the long labour of "orchestration" to compose the best possible wine - balanced, harmonious and allowing the fruit its fullest expression. At the end of the process, the wines of Chateau Preuillac..
Cellar/Tasting Notes Fairly deep garnet-red. Distinctive fruity, spicy and vegetal nose. Round, robust and savory palate revealing more of the nose aromatics. Structure and freshness on the finish. A good wine that will appeal to lovers of classic Medoc.
Cellar/Tasting Notes Big and rich, powered with sweet fruits, rounded with black plums. The firm tannins are densely packed at the core of this ageworthy wine. With its swathes of ripe fruit and the edge of wood aging, it's already delicious, but keep for at least six years.
Cellar/Tasting Notes "With a high proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon, this wine has both structured and superbly rich fruit. The tannins are firm, but show a sweet, enticing edge to them, giving a full body and classic, fresh black currant acidity. An impressive wine, which definitely needs to age—five years or more."
