Tacitus is explicit: Agricola arrived in Britain late in the season of 77 AD to find the Ordovices had destroyed almost an entire cavalry ala. Rather than wait, he immediately gathered available forces and drove into Ordovician mountain territory. The result was near-extermination — prope universos — of the Ordovician fighting men, followed immediately by the reconquest of Anglesey. The speed and scale established Agricola authority across the province.
