According to Tacitus, Calgacus (sometimes Calgacos or Galgacus) was a chieftain of the Caledonian Confederacy who fought the Roman army of Gnaeus Julius Agricola at the Battle of Mons Graupius in northern Scotland in AD 83 or 84. There is debate as to the existence of Calgacus; Anthony Kamm and Simon Turney argue that Calgacus was confected by Tacitus to convey his political opinions.
