Quintus Glitius Atilius Agricola was a Roman senator and general who held several posts in the emperor's service.
[6] His first documented service was as sevir equitum Romanorum at the annual review of the equites, which was followed as one of the decemviri stlitibus judicandus, one of the magistracies that comprised the vigintiviri.
Since Roman senators commonly held the office of quaestor at the age of 25, this suggests Agricola was born in the year 53, at the latest.
[7] After holding the fasces for the first time he was governor of Pannonia from 100, when he replaced Lucius Julius Ursus Servianus, to the end of 102.
[8] Between the end of his service in Pannonia and returning to Rome, Agricola participated in the Dacian Wars, where he earned a set of dona militaria, or military decorations, appropriate to an ex-consul.
