Septimius Severus didn't have it easy when
he ventured into the highlands region, with
the Pict tribes having advantage with terrain
and their Guerilla warfare, [Romans excelling
in open ground set-piece battles].. but not to
be outdone;
He re-occupied the fortifications Agricola had
built in his campaign and set about controlling
what territory he could and systematically destroying
regions(people and property) which he couldn't...
this had the effect of bringing the tribes to the
negotiating table, putting the brakes on Pict raids
Into Roman Britannia.
A successful campaign.. 👍
His son then led a total search & destroy mission
in 210 AD - north of the Antonine Wall.
(genocidal kill everyone you see approach)
to be followed by Septimius Severus to fully
occupy Caledonia, but he fell ill, and his son
Caracalla called such plans off.
