 | | Two campaigns by Suetonius Paulinus in AD 58-9 are presumed to have been fought against the Silures, and Ordovices or Deceangli. | | | A later campaign in AD 60, capturing Anglesey, certainly suggests that the Deceangli were no longer a threat at that time. | | | To the south, the Ordovices rebelled in AD 78 but were suppressed by forces under Julius Agricola.' [Therefore Pennant's suggestion that Gop Hill was the place of slaughter of the Ordovices by Agricola does not fit.] |

| | In particular the Ordovices, led by Caratacus, were on the offensive against the Roman invasion. | | | An added attraction was that the area in the south towards the Forest of Dean offered iron deposits that had been successfully worked by the Celtic peoples for more than a century. | | | The successful Roman Invasion under the Emperor Claudius took place in 43AD, but it wasn't until c.75AD that the Silures and their neighbouring tribe, the Ordovices, were finally overcome by the Governor Frontinus. |

| | Agricola did, therefore, achieve what Suetonius Paulinus had not been able to do in his Welsh campaign against the Ordovices - the near total annihilation and removal of a significant tactical threat. | | | Whether Agricola had at his disposal elements of his old enemies, the Silures and Ordovices, whom he was able to use as guides is unknown but my contention is that he did. | | | From here, a vexilation of the XX then joined with Legio XIII Gemina and some of the auxiliia used in the Anglesey campaign to support Legio IX Hispania, who had been ambushed by Boudicca’s rebel forces as they rampaged across the country. |

| | The Deceangli, the Ordovices and the Silures were the three main tribe groups who lived in the mountains of what is today called Wales. | | | Like the Silures and Degeangli, these peoples lived in small farms, often defended against attack. | | | Because of this the Demetae did not need to be intensively garrisoned by the Roman army, except along their eastern border, which may have been to protect them from their hostile neighbours, the Silures. |

| | The army then marched against the Silures, a naturally fierce people and now full of confidence in the might of Caratacus, who by many an indecisive and many a successful battle had raised himself far above all the other generals of the Britons. | | | After some early defeats in the east, Caratacus moved west into more rugged territories that would be easier to defend. | | | His numerically inferior forces survived an indecisive engagement with the Romans in the land of the Silures (modern-day Glamorgan in Wales) and so Caratacus moved north, to the land of the Ordovices (central Gwynedd, southern Clwyd, northern Powys) to find the ideal location for a battle which he intended to be decisive. |
