Sextus Calpurnius Agricola

Sextus Calpurnius Agricola was a Roman general and politician of the second century AD.

He was consul in AD 154 and governed Germania Superior around 158

In AD 163, he was despatched to Britain to control uprisings in the north. He rebuilt a number of forts, most notably that at Corbridge. He withdrew troops southwards from Scotland towards the line of Hadrian's Wall to contend with the threats of further rebellion.

There are indications of unrest in Britain around the time of his rule attested by damage to the forum at Wroxeter and the burning of a large part of Verulamium.
