Tacitus (c. 56/57- 117+)
"Primitive man had no evil desires. Being blameless and innocent, his life was free of compulsions or penalties. He also needed no rewards; for he was naturally good."
- The Annals of Imperial Rome (Book III, translator chaptor 6), by Tacitus, translated by Michael Grant (Penguin Classics, 1996).
