When the Maeatae and Caledonians renewed hostilities in 210 AD, the dying Severus sent his son Caracalla to conduct a war of total destruction — there were to be no prisoners.

Caracalla immediately made peace on whatever terms were available and rushed back to Rome to consolidate power against his brother Geta (whom he later murdered). The last great Roman expedition to Scotland ended in assassination politics.
