1 март 368 г. - The Roman Response

Описание:

A relief force, commanded by Flavius Theodosius, gathered at Bononia. It included four units, Batavi, Heruli, Iovii and Victores, as well as his son, the later Emperor Theodosius I, and his nephew Magnus Maximus. Theodosius and a strike force made their way to Britain to gather intelligence, discovering that much of the Roman miliary had deserted on account of lack of payment. Theodosius marched the relief force to Londinium, which he made his base as Comes Britanniarum. An amnesty was promised to deserters, which enabled Theodosius to regarrison abandoned forts. A new Dux Britanniarum was appointed, Dulcitius, with Civilis granted vicarius status to head a new civilian administration. During this campaign, Magnus becomes familiar with a Ceryw commander named Caradocus.

By the end of the year, the barbarians had been driven back to their homelands; the mutineers had been executed; Hadrian's Wall had been retaken and order had returned to the diocese. The creation of a new province, Valentia, was ordered to ensure better order in the north, and frontiers refortified with co-operation from border tribes such as the Votadini, which marked the career of men such as Padarn Beisrudd.
