Julius Frontinus — who later wrote two important military treatises — finally broke the Silures after decades of resistance. He used the combination of a new legionary fortress at Caerleon (Isca Silurum) to serve as a permanent base, and methodical campaigning to destroy Silurian food stores and strongholds. The Silures had been fighting Rome intermittently since 47 AD — twenty-seven years. Frontinus described his campaign as "suppressing a force of savage tribes". He then attacked the Ordovices before Agricola completed the job.
