		And Petillius Cerialis at once struck terror into their hearts by invading the commonwealth of the Brigantes, which is said to be the most numerous tribe of the whole province: many battles were fought, sometimes bloody battles, and by permanent conquest or by forays he annexed a large portion of the Brigantes."
		Cerialis was made legate of Legio IX Hispana in Britain under Gaius Suetonius Paulinus in AD60, just in time to be involved in the revolt of the Iceni in the winter of AD60/61.
		His success in Germania fresh in the emperor Vespasian's mind, Cerialis was seen as the perfect choice to command the campaign against the estranged British prince Venutius, who had incited revolt among the Brigantes tribe of northern England.

	Cerialis, Agricola and the Conquest of Northern Britain (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		60-61, both Cerialis and Agricola were in Britain, the former as commander (legatus) of legion IX (which received something of a mauling), the latter as a military tribune (tribunus militum) evidently on the staff of the governor, Suetonius Paullinus.
		Cerialis came to Britain in AD.71; his instructions were plainly to move the conquest forward, and he brought with him a new legion, II Adiutrix, which had recently been recruited from members of the fleet at Ravenna.
		If, indeed, Cerialis is to be traced that far north, it does not seem unreasonable, in view of what had been done elsewhere, to suggest that he may have inaugurated the Gask Ridge watchtowers, as a way of separating the coastal Venicones from their inland neighbours.

	Vindolanda Tablets Online \| Reference \| Names
		The nomen of Flavius Cerialis is that of the Flavian dynasty, implying that Roman citizenship was acquired by Cerialis or a forebear after AD 70, when the rule of the first Flavian emperor, Vespasian, began.
		The cognomen, Cerialis, is the same as that of Petillius Cerialis, the Roman general who ended the Batavian revolt in AD 69/70 and who governed Britain in the early 70s, recommencing the conquest of the north.
		Perhaps Cerialis' father or Cerialis himself remained loyal to Rome during the Batavian revolt and was granted citizenship in return for loyalty, Petillius Cerialis acting as his patron.

		Cerialis was kind towards them, and showed clemency towards the Trevirans and Lingones, punishing only those who were really guilty of treason.

		A new crisis occurred at the beginning of Hadrian's reign (117), a rising in the north which was suppressed by Quintus Pompeius Falco.
		When Hadrian reached Britannia on his famous tour of the Roman provinces around 120, he directed an extensive defensive wall, known to posterity as Hadrian's Wall, to be built close to the line of the Stanegate frontier.
		This northward extension of the empire was probably the result of attacks, maybe by the Selgovae of south-west Scotland, on the Roman buffer state of the Votadini who lived north of the Hadrianic frontier.
