The Agricola is both a portrait of Julius Agricola - the most famous governor of
Roman Britain and Tacitus' well-loved and respected father-in-law - and the
first detailed account of Britain that has come down to us. It offers
fascinating descriptions of the geography, climate and peoples of the country,
and a succinct account of the early stages of the Roman occupation, nearly
fatally undermined by Boudicca's revolt in AD 61 but consolidated by campaigns
that took Agricola as far as Anglesey and northern Scotland. The warlike German
tribes are the focus of Tacitus' attention in the Germania , which, like the
Agricola , often compares the behaviour of 'barbarian' peoples favourably with
the decadence and corruption of Imperial Rome.
