January 63: The small island, after being conquered by Suetonius Paulinus in 61, however, was lost by the Britons a short time later.
January 72: Campaign of Vettius Bolanus.
January 123: Agricola, recalled to Rome by the emperor Domitian, was apparently followed by a series of inconsistent governors who failed to subjugate the north of the island. The Romans thus withdrew behind the line (Tyne-Solway Firth) which would then be marked by Hadrian's Wall (built in 122).
January 145: The construction of the Wall of Antoninus began in 142 under the reign of Antoninus Pius, and was completed in 144.
January 165: The wall was abandoned only twenty years after its construction, when in 164 the Roman legions retreated south of Hadrian's Wall.
January 48: Campaign of Aulus Plautius.
January 58: Campaign of Quintus Veranus.
January 74: Campaign of Pettilius Cerialis.
Was a military campaign by Roman general Gnaeus Julius Agricola in Britain.
November 77: The second invasion of Mona was undertaken by Agricola, the Provincial Roman Governor of Britannia, in late 77.
January 80: Roman General Agricola advanced as far as the Tay estuary.
January 81: Agricola directed his military action to consolidate the fortified line in central Scotland, between the Clyde or Forth rivers, increasing the praesidia near this border line.
January 82: The Roman armies proceeded to consolidate the gains of the previous year especially in southwest Scotland.
January 83: Agricola waged war on the tribes of Forth, but the Caledonians attacked the camp of VIIIHispana during the night. However, Agricola managed to repel them with the cavalry, after which he penetrated even further north with his troops.
January 85: Shortly after the victory, Agricola was recalled to his homeland and the Romans withdrew to the line of the more defensible isthmus of the Forth-Clyde.
November 77: Agricola as soon as he became governor, moved war to the west, defeating first the people of the Ordovicians (tribe of North Wales).
January 84: The Roman army clashed in the battle of Monte Graupio against the army of the Caledonians, led by a certain Calgaco.
Was the invasion of Caledonia (Scotland) launched by the Roman emperor Septimius Severus.
June 209: In the spring of this year, however, the first campaign could have begun, covering the territories north of Hadrian's Wall and then, following the example of Gneo Giulio Agricola himself, over a century earlier, occupying the eastern and southern part of the current Scotland. Before the war the border was Hadrian's Wall.
September 209: The Roman imperial armies pushed further and further north, first as far as the River Tay and the Antonine Wall, then beyond this system of fortifications along the Gask Ridge and even further north (Balmakewan, Glenmailen, Muiryfold, Kintore, Normandykes and Kair house).
January 212: Also this year Severus died in Eburacum (York), the two sons decided to leave the island after signing a new peace treaty with those peoples, which brought the imperial borders back to Hadrian's Wall.
January 211: Severus decided to return to Eburacum due to his infirmity (in fact, it is said that he was transported in a litter during this campaign), after forcing Caledoni and Meati by force to ask for peace, on condition that they abandon a large part of their territory, thus returning to occupy the territories up to the Antonine Wall.
