In a brilliantly successful campaign, Governor Gnaeus Julius Agricola extended Roman control of Britain north to the Forth and defeated Caledonians under Calgacus at Mons Graupius (traditionally Bennachie northwest of Aberdeen). Agricola’s army reputedly killed 10,000 Highlanders, though he lacked the men to conquer Scotland. Forty years later Hadrian’s Wall was built to mark the border.
