Agricola, Gnaeus Iulius Governor of Britain 77–83. Agricola came of a senatorial family in southern Gaul. He was exceptional in spending all three of his periods of provincial service in Britain, culminating in an unusually long governorship. He first served in Britain as a military tribune at the time of the
Boudiccan revolt (60/1). He returned as legate (commander) of
legio XX Valeria Victrix 69–73, during which time his legion took part in the advance north of the Humber–Mersey line. He served as a consul in the year 77 and probably arrived in Britain as governor late that year. Tacitus' account of Agricola's governorship is dominated by narratives of the seven seasons of campaigning, advancing Roman power far into Scotland and culminating in the defeat of the Caledonian tribes under
Calgacus at the battle of Mons Graupius (83/4).
