Gnaeus Julius Agricola was a man fated for conquest and tied to the
island of Britannia. He cut his teeth on military command during
the revolt of Boudicca, later commanded a legion against the
warlike Brigantes and was finally given the governorship of the
province and was able to lead the armies north, incorporating into
the empire the wild northern lands that had remained unclaimed for
three decades. He broke the back of the Scottish tribes at Mons
Graupius and achieved what no other Roman ever managed. Agricola
had a settled Britannia in his hands, only to be removed and see it
evaporate without him. Agricola's biography was written by his
son-in-law Tacitus, and his life has otherwise never been examined
in detail. Here, using the archaeological record and contemporary
accounts to compare with Tacitus, we work to uncover the truth
about the man who made Roman Britain. Was Tacitus an unreliable
narrator?
