To what extent do you think Tacitus' text provide German nationalists with a 'usable past'? Do they constitute evidence for a 'golden age' of ancient German nobility? Do you agree with Smith that nations need a 'golden age' and that its verifiability is necessary? How does verifiability relate to authenticity? What are some of the problems with the claims to a golden age?
