	The Internet Classics Archive \| The Histories by Tacitus
		Paullinus alleged that he feared the effects of so much additional toil and so long a march, apprehending that the Vitellianists might issue fresh from their camp, and attack his wearied troops, who, once thrown into confusion, would have no reserves to fall back upon.
		Then Suetonius Paullinus, thinking that it befitted his reputation, which was such that no one at that period was looked upon as a more skilful soldier, to give an opinion on the whole conduct of the war, contended that impatience would benefit the enemy, while delay would serve their own cause.
		Paullinus and Celsus no longer opposed, for they would not seem to put the Emperor in the way of peril, and these same men who suggested the baser policy prevailed on him to retire to Brixellum, and thus secure from the hazards of the field, to reserve himself for the administration of empire.

		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.
		In contrast, whilst Suetonius Paullinus made his mark on Anglesey as the bloodiest of the invaders, Agricola took the island 15 years later, garrisoning it completely.

		Caligula planned his own campaign against the British in AD 40, but its execution was bizarre: according to Suetonius, he drew up his troops in battle formation facing the English Channel and ordered them to attack the standing water.
		The governor Suetonius Paullinus, upon reaching London from his campaigning in the western part of the province, found the town indefensible with the few troops he had.
		As a result, Paullinus was forced to abandon the city and took only those who could afford to leave in time to retreat with him, leaving some behind.

		Paullinus 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.
		Paullinus advanced down Watling Street to choose a battlefield to his advantage.

	Osprey - Boudica's last battle
		While the governor of Britain, Caius Suetonius Paullinus, was on active service with Legio XIV Germania and part of Legio XX Valeria against the Druids in Anglesey, Boudica, the widow of the late ruler of the Iceni, was flogged, her daughters raped and the kingdom plundered by the Romans.
		Some writers suggest that it was in Suetonius' interest to draw the British as far north-west as possible, but this could only be achieved at the sacrifice of the tax-generating south-east, a cost a Roman governor would be unwilling to incur.
		Whatever the reconnaissance reveals, Suetonius will have his legions at the ready, as close to the enemy as is prudent and saving as much as possible of the productive part of the province.

	Roman Britain - Revolt in 60 CE
		Paullinus used Chester and took a year to develop a fleet and launch it to sort out the Druids in Eryri/ Snowdonia and Ynys Mon/ Anglesey.
		Paullinus was waiting in the Midlands, and had not received II Legion Augusta for reinforcements.
		So Paullinus had some confidence that he could meet the opposition, on his terms at least in the Midlands, which meant first taking the attack from the Britons (watched by their families and followers) and then in disciplined formation hacking at the Britons towards the spectators and their wagons.

		The Roman emperor Nero was displeased when he heard of the Romans’ harsh treatment of the Celts after the revolt; as a result, Paullinus was recalled and conditions improved for the Celts in Roman Britain.

		Suetonius, in the meantime, was detained in the isle of Mona.
		Suetonius, undismayed by this disaster, marched through the heart of the country as far as London; a place not dignified with the name of a colony, but the chief residence of merchants, and the great mart of trade and commerce.
