	Gaius Cornelius Tacitus - InformationBlast
		His two major works are a continuous history of the first century in the Roman Empire, from the death of Augustus to the death of Domitian; though parts have been lost, what remains is an invaluable record of the era.
		In "Germania" Tacitus mentions the androgyne creator god of the Celts, named Tuisto and parent of the first human being Mannus, who in turn is the father of all Celtic tribes.
		His style differs both from the prevalent style of the Silver Age and from that of the Golden Age; though it has a calculated grandeur and eloquence (largely thanks to Tacitus' education in rhetoric), it is extremely concise, even epigrammatic -- the sentences are rarely flowing or beautiful, but their point is always clear.
