Sextus Calpurnius Agricola

Sextus Calpurnius Agricola was a Roman senator and general active during the 2nd century.

His origin is attested in no surviving document, and the gentilicium "Calpurnius" is commonly found all over the Empire.

However, Anthony Birley notes the combination "Sextus Calpurnius" is very uncommon, and he suggests that Agricola is related to Fronto's friend Sextus Calpurnius Julianus; if so, he may have been a native of Cirta or another town in Numidia.

He withdrew troops southwards from Scotland towards the line of Hadrian's Wall to contend with the threats of further rebellion.

[4] 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).
