	Ancient History Sourcebook: Tacitus: Life of Cnaeus Julius Agricola, c.98 CE
		Agricola, having been sent by Mucianus to conduct a levy of troops, and having done his work with integrity and energy, was appointed to command the 20th Legion, which had been slow to take the new oath of allegiance, and the retiring officer of which was reported to be acting disloyally.
		Agricola, by the repression of these abuses in his very first year in office, restored to peace its good name, when, from either the indifference or the harshness of his predecessors, it had come to be as much dreaded as war.
		Agricola was born on the 13th of June, in the third consulate of Caius Caesar; he died on the 23rd of August, during the consulate of Collega and Priscus, being in the fifty-sixth year of his age.

	MilitaryHistoryOnline.com - Agricola and the Final Invasion of Anglesey
		Gnaeus Julius Agricola is far better known in the history of Anglesey than his predecessor, Suetonius Paulinus.
		Agricola knew that the situation with the Ordovices needed to be settled once and for all as, in the years since Paulinus’s withdrawal from the area to crush the Boudiccan revolt, there had been opportunity for the Ordovices and their Druids - a religion Rome saw as dangerous - to gather strength anew.
		Agricola all but put a stop to this, ensuring that they were treated with some respect and so he came to be seen as a fair man by the local population.

	Agricola (Ancient Roman General) by Cornelius Tacitus
		Agricola reined in his energies and restrained his enthusiasm, for fear of trespassing on his chief; he was a master of tact, and had schooled himself to regard expediency as well as honour, Soon afterwards Britain welcomed Petillius Cerealis, the ex-consul.
		Agricola had given a welcome to an Irish prince, who had been driven from home by a rebellion; nominally a friend, he might be used as a pawn in the game.
		Even while Agricola was still speaking the troops showed visible signs of their keenness, and a wild burst of enthusiasm greeted the end of his speech.
