Rome and Asia Minor, AD 62–69. Agricola returns from Britain with a soldier’s reputation but discovers that advancement under Nero requires caution around patrons who confuse public office with private enrichment. A provincial appointment places him beneath a corrupt governor and forces him to decide how openly an ambitious young senator can resist abuse.
Bereavement, the Great Fire and Nero’s collapse draw Agricola into the wider crisis of the Year of the Four Emperors. Galba, Otho, Vitellius and Vespasian each claim loyalty from men whose families and careers are exposed to retaliation. Agricola’s choices reveal that survival in Roman politics can demand a different kind of courage from the battlefield.
