Agricicolas

Agricolas is a term that can refer to several distinct entities, primarily historical and fictional. In Roman history, agricola was a Latin term meaning "farmer" or "cultivator of land." It was also the cognomen of Gnaeus Julius Agricola, a Roman governor of Britain in the late 1st century AD. His campaigns and administrative reforms are well-documented in the biography written by his son-in-law, the historian Tacitus. The name Agricola has also been adopted by various individuals and organizations throughout history, often to evoke a connection to agriculture or the land.

More recently, Agricolas is also the name of a popular board game designed by Uwe Rosenberg. In this game, players take on the roles of farmers in the 17th century, developing their farms, raising livestock, and gathering resources to feed their families. The game is known for its strategic depth and resource management mechanics, and it has garnered a significant following within the modern board gaming community. The game's title directly references the historical concept of the farmer.
