  Gaius Suetonius Paulinus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, also spelled Paullinus, (flourished 1st century CE) was a Roman general.
Suetonius acted vigorously in suppressing revolt, especially in Wales, but he was campaigning against the druids of Mona when Boudicca razed Camulodunum (circa 60) and he had to race southwards.
Suetonius advanced down Watling Street to choose a battlefield to his advantage.

Watling Street was a Roman road which went from Dover on the southeast coast of England and is generally believed to have terminated at Viroconium (now Wroxeter in Shropshire).
It was also the site for the Roman victory at the Battle of Watling Street in 61 AD between the Roman governor Gaius Suetonius Paulinus and the Briton leader Boudica.
The original Roman road actually continued to Chester and into north Wales, with another branch going into central Wales, although little trace remains of these now.

 Working Dogs Book Store - Imperial Governor: The Great Novel of Boudicca's Revolt (George Shipway)
The novel follows Suetonius Paulinus in a first person narrative, throughout his governorship of the British province.
Shipway's characterization of Suetonius is excellent and is what I most enjoyed about the novel.
Still, Shipway does not portray Suetonius as needlessly cruel or evil, and he does manage to give the reader reasons to sympathize, and even like him.

 Boudica   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
Finally, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, the Roman governor of Britain, gathered all the Roman troops in the south of Britain and attacked the British in a narrow valley so that the superior numbers of rebel force would be of no advantage against the smaller Roman army.
Tacitus reported that Boudica was seen riding her chariot and inspiring her troops before the battle.
Roman retribution for rebellion was swift and cruel but the British kept up the fight for another year, when Suetonius was succeeded by Publius Petronius Turpilianus, who changed the policy toward the native population to one of appeasement, which remained in use for three hundred more years of Roman occupation of Britain.
