The Agricola series is S.J.A. Turney’s fictional treatment of Gnaeus Julius Agricola, the Roman governor who led the military conquest of much of Britain in the first century AD. Turney had previously written a non-fiction biography, Agricola: Architect of Roman Britain (2021), before turning the same material into a trilogy.
The three books — Invader (2024), Warrior (2025), and Commander (2025) — follow Agricola’s career as he pushes Roman control further into the British Isles than any general before him, culminating in the Battle of Mons Graupius in Scotland. The series draws on Turney’s deep knowledge of Roman Britain, built through years of site visits documented on his roman-sites.org project.
