| | Ancient History Sourcebook: Tacitus: Life of Cnaeus Julius Agricola, c.98 CE |
 | | Such was the state of Britain, and such were the vicissitudes of the war, which Agricola found on his crossing over about midsummer. | | | The cause of his danger lay not in any crime, nor in any complaint of injury, but in a ruler who was the foe of virtue, in his own renown, and in that worst class of enemies -- the men who praise. | | | Carus Metius had as yet the distinction of but one victory, and the noisy counsels of Messalinus were not heard beyond the walls of Alba, and Massa Baebius was then answering for his life. |

| | Thereupon Agricola sent others to attempt the voyage around Britain, and learned from them, too, that it was an island. | | | Agricola born at Forum Julii in the Province of Gallia Narbonensis (Fréjus, on the Mediterranean coast of Provence in south France), his father Julius Graecinus was praetor in the same year, and his mother Procilla is thought to have come from an aristocratic family in southern Gaul. | | | But Agricola for the rest of his life lived not only in disgrace but in actual want, because the deeds which he had wrought were too great for a mere general. |
