The thing to understand about Agricola (whose name actually means "farmer"), is how his reforms and governmental decisions, designed expressly to prevent the kind of revolt that Boudicca had led, were considered very moderate compared to his predecessors, and a rare example of Rome softening its stance. Boudicca's savage rebellion had actually frightened Nero so badly that he had considered abandoning Britain altogether, and only an investigation by his most trusted servant revealed that Suetonius's tactics were likely to make the situation worse. Agricola's administration was considered downright conciliatory, by comparison.

The scots were quite the warriors, but they scary thing about the roman conquest of Scotland was the intetention of the emperor servus who was done pissed off having to come there considering he just beat the powerful eastern empire the Parthians in Asia. "The Caledonians sued for peace, which Severus granted on condition they relinquish control of the Central Lowlands.[72][79] This is evidenced by extensive Severan-era fortifications in the Central Lowlands.[80] The Caledonians, short on supplies and feeling that their position was desperate, revolted later that year with the Maeatae.[81] Severus prepared for another protracted campaign within Caledonia. He was now intent on exterminating the Caledonians, telling his soldiers: "Let no-one escape sheer destruction, no-one our hands, not even the babe in the womb of the mother, if it be male; let it nevertheless not escape sheer destruction "

There was NO Ireland until the 5th century todays Ireland was called Scotia (Scotland) by the Romans and Greek traders, and the people called the Scotii (Scots) who it appears landed in the 1st century or before in todays Ireland and named it Alba or Greater Albian, later yes Ireland in the 5th century after the Romans left Britannia (below the Wall) it changed to Hibernia and then Ireland. Also there were no Scotland or Scots it was called Caledonia and the people the Romans fought were called the Picts, who are likely descendants from either Norway or Denmark/Sweden when a land bridge existed between Europe and Scotland.

conquering new territories and expanding their empire was a key goal for ancient Rome. Scotland was seen as a potential threat and a region to be brought under Roman control.

Rome only conquered territory that would pay for itself as a minimum. Even Britannia itself was barely worth the silver- it simply did not generate enough money to cover Imperial expenses. Scotland was way beyond the financial minimum worth the conquest and administration of such a remote province.

Why

Rome could easily put another 7 legions in Brittania and complete the conquest if they wanted to. Starting from Titus all the way to the end of the Empire, Gaul and northern Italia had more legions than they strictly needed for defense. Or rather, things would get hot in the 300s, but Rome was putting more legions there than they needed to. Why was this the case? It was actually to ward off extra competitors to the throne. Long before the barbarian invasions started getting serious, Rome had a considerable amount of force deployed against itself instead of foreign invaders. If province needs 10 legions for local defense but has 13, those extra 3 might make solving local problems easier when they come, but those extra 3 are really in case they need to move elsewhere and making local problems go away ever so slightly faster solves is a side effect. In an alternate world where Rome put another 7 legions into Brittania and expanded into Scotland, it probably meant a lot of the internal infighting was solved since that's the only reason they would dedicate so much manpower away from the imperial core.

@KaiHung-wv3ul

Their 28 Legions were already insanely overstretched throughout the empire, and with most of them tied down on the Rhine, Danube, or eastern frontier, which was constantly raided, or garrisoning important provinces like Egypt. Many of the provinces didn't have any Legions. After the reign of Augustus and the early reign of Tiberius, campaigns with more than four Legions became increasingly rare, with the Judaean Wars and Trajan's campaigns being the exceptions, not the rule.

@RichardDCook

2 ай бұрын

Yes but Britannia was already taking a disproportionately large amount of Legions for its size. And Rome didn't just go around grabbing territory willy-nilly, they did sober cost/benefit analyses. Though the economic benefit of invading Britain was debated, when they did conquer the south they quickly started farming and mining on a massive scale. Britain became one of the major breadbaskets of the Empire. What would be the economic benefit of occupying the Highlands of Scotland? It's little use for farming and the sparse poor population couldn't produce much in the way of taxes. There's no way the Highlands could even offset the cost of occupying them, much less have anything left over for the rest of the Empire.
