15 jun 211 año - Caracalla Ends Invasion of Caledonia

Descripción:

In early 210 Severus' son Caracalla led a punitive expedition north of the Antonine wall with the intention of killing everyone he came across and looting and burning everything of value. The plan was for Severus to follow his son's army and permanently occupy all of Caledonia. In 210 Severus became ill and went to York to rest and recover. He kept getting worse until 4 February 211 when he died. Caracalla then called off the war against the Caledonians and headed back to Rome to consolidate his power.

The Romans never campaigned deep into Caledonia again: they soon withdrew south permanently to Hadrian's Wall.
