The XIV Gemina were commanded by Quintus Veranius until his death, when he was succeeded by Gaius Suetonius Paullinus, the man responsible for the first invasion of Anglesey and, later, for the defeat of Boudicca.
Paullinus also knew the opposition was made up of lightly armed tribesmen, including many refugees from the mainland advance, whose armour was non-existent and who did not have the battlefield support he and his army possessed.

While the Roman Governor of Britain, Gaius Suetonius Paulinus, was campaigning in Wales, the Iceni revolted, allied with the neighbouring Trinovantes, whose former Capital, Camulodunum (Colchester) was now a colony for Roman veterans, with a temple to the former emperor Claudius, built at local expense.
Suetonius raced to Londinium (London), but, concluding he did not have the numbers to defend it, evacuated the city.

The Army dominated much of the land surrounding the Mediterranean Sea, including the province of Britannia and Asia Minor at the Empire's height.

 Agricola
That he met resistance goes without saying, that he quelled it is certainly true - but if historical memory recalls any of the Romans it is Suetonius Paullinus whose name is synonymous with the desperate and bloody butchery that was the first invasion of Anglesey.
In 43AD, the legion was part of the Claudian invasion of Britain and it is likely that they made their first base at Camulodunum, modern day Colchester, before moving on to Kingsholm, near Gloucester and from there possibly to Usk in what is today the county of Gwent.
In terms of strategy, if his aim were to ensure there would be no more rebellion from the tribes then it would follow that the best way of ensuring this would be to maintain the thrust of invasion and to massacre his enemies.

And perhaps, Paullinus also believes in the power of the druids more than he will admit publically, and has no desire to suffer the same fate as his predecessors.
