caption_attribution_description: The Verulamium Forum Inscription (tentatively dated to AD 79, during the reign of the emperor Titus) is one of the many Roman inscriptions in Britain. It has been reconstructed as a large dedication slab (approx. 4.3m x 1.0m) from eight small fragments found in 1955 during construction work in the yard of St Michael's School, St Albans. The find-spot lay near the north-east entrance to the forum and basilica of Verulamium (modern St Albans). The inscription is notable because it mentions Gnaeus Julius Agricola, the Roman governor of Britain from AD 77-84, who is otherwise known from a biography written by his son in law Tacitus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Verulamium_Forum_inscription
