Sextus Calpurnius Agricola was a Roman general and politician of the 2nd century. In 154 he was ''consul suffectus'' with Tiberius Claudius Julianus.〔''L'anée Epigraphique'' 1980, p.202 no. 760 AD154〕 Calpurnius Agricola was governor of Germania Superior around 158.〔Patricia Southern ''Roman Britain: A New History 55BC - AD 450''〕 In 161 or 162 he was made governor of Britain and remained until at least 163, possibly until the end of the 160s.〔 In 163, he was sent to Britain to control uprisings in the north. He rebuilt a number of forts, most notably that at Coria (Corbridge). He withdrew troops southwards from Scotland towards the line of Hadrian's Wall to contend with the threats of further rebellion.〔''RIB'' 1127, 1149, cf. 1389〕 There are indications of unrest in Britain around the time of his rule attested by damage to the forum at Viroconium Cornoviorum (Wroxeter) and the burning of a large part of Verulamium (St Albans).〔Robin George Collingwood, John Nowell Linton Myres ''Roman Britain and the English Settlements'' p.150〕〔Historia Augusta ''Life of Marcus Aurelius'' 8.8〕 Around 166 AD Agricola was appointed imperial legate in Roman Dacia. Between 168–169, he was one of the governors of Lower Moesia. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sextus Calpurnius Agricola」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
