Career
In 154 he was consul suffectus with Tiberius Claudius Julianus. Calpurnius Agricola was governor of Germania Superior around 158. In 161 or 162 he was made governor of Britain and remained until at least 163, possibly until the end of the 160s.
In 163, he was sent to Britain to control uprisings in the north.
He rebuilt a number of forts, most notably that at Coria (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 Viroconium Cornoviorum (Wroxeter) and the burning of a large part of Verulamium (Street Albans). Around 166 AD Agricola was appointed imperial legate in Roman Dacia.
Between 168–169, he was one of the governors of Lower Moesia.
