The Caledonian Campaigns
In 73 CE, the stage was set for the Caledonian campaigns. The northern territories of Britain, now under Roman control, were ripe for further expansion.
Agricola's Leadership
Gnaeus Julius Agricola, the new governor of Britain, led these campaigns. Agricola was a seasoned military commander with a deep understanding of the local tribes and their tactics.
The Campaigns
The campaigns were marked by a series of battles and skirmishes, with the Romans gradually pushing the Caledonians further north. The Romans used a combination of military force and diplomatic negotiations to achieve their goals.
