We continue our series on the Roman Invasion of Scotland. In part 1 we covered the early Campaigns of Agricola which led the legions into ancient Scotland, known as Caledonia. In part 2 we cover the resistance of the Scottish tribes which culminated in the Battle of Mons Graupius in 83 AD.

This battle would feature a massive army of tribesmen and their war chariots led by Calgacus. Against them stood General Agricola with four legions and several cohorts of auxiliaries.
