Calgacus 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 . His name can be as interpreted as Celtic " * calg - ac - os " , " possessing a blade " . The only historical source that features him is Tacitus ' " Agricola " , which describes him as " the most distinguished for birth and valour among the chieftains " . Tacitus wrote a speech which he attributed to Calgacus , saying that Calgacus gave it in advance of the Battle of Mons Graupius . The speech describes the exploitation of Britain by Rome and rouses his troops to fight . The following excerpt is from the speech attributed to Calgacus by the historian Tacitus in the " Agricola " ( 30 ) : Calgacus is not mentioned during or after the battle and he is not named as one of the hostages Agricola took with him after putting the Caledonians to flight . Both Calgacus and the speech may be figments of Tacitus ' s invention . His speech is often quoted as " they make a desert and call it peace " .

The land was purchased from Thomas Sinclair . The cemetery features cast iron fountains and separate Protestant and Catholic areas , divided by a sunken wall . Many of Belfast ' s wealthiest families have plots in the cemetery , particularly those involved in the linen trade . Since its opening in 1869 around 226 , 000 people have been buried in the cemetery . There has been an area set aside for Belfast ' s Jewish residents since 1874 . In this area is a memorial to Daniel Joseph Jaffe . Daniel Jaffe was the father of Otto Jaffe , a Jewish linen exporter and former Lord Mayor of Belfast . In 1916 an area was dedicated to soldiers who died serving in World War I , when 296 Commonwealth service personnel were buried in the cemetery . Those whose graves could not be marked by headstones are listed on Screen Wall memorial in Plot H . Many of the United States Army personnel killed in the sinking of " HMS Otranto " in 1918 were buried in the graveyard . After the war their bodies were exhumed and repatriated to the United States . In World War II , 274 Commonwealth service personnel , 5 of them unidentified , were buried in the cemetery , besides 3 Norwegian nationals whose graves are also maintained by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission . As the frequent target of vandalism , many of the British Army soldiers ' headstones were moved to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park . In 2012 , continuing vandalism of the World War I Screen Wall has led to proposals to move it to another part of the cemetery . Due to its historical importance , the cemetery is a popular tourist attraction in Belfast , with guided tours available . On 8 April 2006 , Denis Donaldson was buried in the cemetery . Donaldson was a former IRA member and Sinn Féin politician . He was killed shortly after being named as a British spy .

On 7 August 2012 , an image purportedly depicting the face of Jesus ( cf . Pareidolia ) appeared on a tree stump in the cemetery .

Trou de loup In medieval fortification , a trou de loup ( French for " wolf hole " ; plural trous de loup , also commonly referred to as a tiger pit in the East ) was a type of booby trap or defensive obstacle . Each trou de loup consisted of a conical pit about 2 m ( 6 ft 6 in ) deep and 1 . 2 to 2 m ( 3 . 9 to 6 . 5 ft ) wide at the top . At the bottom of the pit , a sharpened Punji stick ( wooden stake ) would be hammered in . In some cases , the pit was concealed by light cover of wicker and a layer of soil . Trous de loup might be found singly as a trap ( in which case they were always concealed ) , or in a dense pattern with no gaps between pits , used as an obstacle in front of a defended position . A field of trous de loup could be made most effective if subsequently flooded to a shallow depth , which would conceal the pits , make their sides slippery , and add the risk of drowning . Sometimes rotting meat or feces would be smeared onto the points to cause serious infection and quite often death . History . Even though the term has a medieval origin , this kind of device was first described by Julius Caesar , in the seventh book of his " Commentarii de Bello Gallico " ( Commentaries on the Gallic Wars ) , who employed the device during the siege of Alesia . Caesar writes they were called " lilies " for their resemblance to the flower of the same name . Later Roman examples can be seen at Rough Castle on the Antonine Wall in Great Britain .
