Abstract
Julius Agricola was the Roman Governor of Britain 77 -84 AD. He completed the conquest of the province, finally defeating the Caledonian tribes in the far north of Scotland at the Battle of Mons Graupius, in the process achieving a reputation for efficiency and sound command. His son-in-law was the historian Cornelius Tacitus who wrote a short biography to honour the memory of the great man a few years after his death. This commentary deals with the final 8 chapters of the work which are concerned with Agricola's return to Rome after his service in Britain and his final years. It intended for the benefit of advanced Latin students to assist them in translating and understanding the text.
