Gnaeus Julius Agricola (/ ə ˈ ɡ r ɪ k ə l ə /; 13 June 40 – 23 August 93) was a Roman general and politician responsible for much of the Roman conquest of Britain. Born to a political family of senatorial rank, Agricola began his military career as a military tribune under governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus .
His familial relations are unclear: the names of Agricola's parents are unknown, as is the name of his wife, and the names of his children. He may have had a son named Nymphidius. He was the grandfather of Magnus, consul in 460. He was also a relative, perhaps even the father, of the emperor Avitus (r. 455–456). [2]

In Britain, Gnaeus Julius Agricola expanded the Roman Empire as far as modern day Scotland, [47] but in Dacia, Domitian was unable to procure a decisive victory in the war against the Dacians.

Book 6 ends with the death of Tiberius, and books 7–12 presumably covered the reigns of Caligula and Claudius. The remaining books cover the reign of Nero, perhaps until his death in June 68 or until the end of that year to connect with the Histories. The second half of book 16 is missing, ending with the events of 66.
