Abstract
The poem draws on different translations of the description of the Battle of Mons Graupius by Tacitus the Roman historian. The account is found in Agricola, the eponymous biography of Julia’s father, Gnaeus Julius Agricola, a Gallo-Roman military commander, pontiff and governor of Britannia. The battle took place in northern Britain in AD 83. Tacitus depicts the battle as ending resistance to the Roman conquest of Britain.
