Agricola: Invader
First published 2024
Britain, AD 58–61. The teenage Gnaeus Julius Agricola spends his last resources securing a military tribunate and joins Governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus on a frontier where Roman authority remains contested. Campaigning in Wales and the assault on Mona teach him that conquest depends as much on logistics and discipline as personal courage.
Boudica’s revolt suddenly destroys the assumptions of routine service. As Roman towns burn and the provincial army regroups, Agricola must survive the march towards the Battle of Watling Street while learning how commanders balance necessity, brutality and political reputation. The experience begins the transformation of an impoverished nobleman into one of Rome’s most formidable provincial generals.
