After the assassination of [[Domitian]] in [[96]], and amid the predictable turmoil of the regime change, Tacitus used his new-found freedom to publish this, his first historical work. During the reign of Domitian, Agricola, a faithful imperial general, had been the most important general involved in the conquest of a great part of [[Roman Britain|Britain]]. The proud tone of the ''Agricola'' recalls the style of the ''laudationes funebres'' (funeral speeches). A quick resume of the career of Agricola prior to his mission in Britain is followed by a narration of the conquest of the island. There is a geographical and ethnological digression, taken not only from notes and memories of Agricola but also from the ''[[De Bello Gallico]]'' of [[Julius Caesar]]. The content is so varied as to go beyond the limits of a simple biography, but the narration, whatever its form, serves to exalt the subject of the biography.
