Cneius Julius Agricola, a Roman general, born at Forum Julii (now Frejus in Provence), June 13, A. D. 37, died Aug. 23, 93. He received his education at Massilia (Marseilles), and his military training under Suetonius in Britain. On Vespasian's election by his legions (69), Agricola, then quaestor in Asia, was one of the first to acknowledge him, and that emperor in gratitude appointed him governor of Aquitania. He was next made consul, and subsequently governor of Britain. During this governorship he conquered Wales and the island of An-glesea, built a wall from the Clyde to the frith of Forth to keep off the incursions of the northern barbarians, and defeated the British Galgacus in Scotland, and thus brought Britain under complete subjection. The Roman fleet now for the first time sailed round the whole island. He was recalled by Domitian, and lived in retirement till his death, which was attributed to the emperor's jealousy of his military reputation and popularity. His daughter Doraitia married Tacitus the historian, who wrote his life.
