Quintus Caecilius Metellus Pius was sent out from Rome against Sertorius (79), but Metellus’ conventional tactics proved useless against the guerrilla tactics Sertorius used.
When, for example, Metellus laid siege to a city of the Langobritae tribe, Sertorius had water smuggled into the city and then forced Metellus to retreat by harassing his foraging parties.
Metellus in the meantime offered a reward for anyone who killed Sertorius, which was taken as an admission that he could not defeat Sertorius by more conventional means.
