In the consulship of Cæsonius  Pætus and Petronius Turpilianus, a serious disaster was sustained in  Britain, where Aulius Didius, the emperor's legate,  had merely retained our existing possessions, and his successor Veranius,  after having ravaged the Silures in some trifling raids, was prevented by  death from extending the war. While he lived, he had a great name for manly  independence, though, in his will's final words, he betrayed a flatterer's  weakness; for, after heaping adulation on Nero, he added that he should have  conquered the province for him, had he lived for the next two years. Now,  however, Britain was in the hands of Suetonius  Paulinus, who in military knowledge and in popular favour, which allows no  one to be without a rival, vied with Corbulo, and aspired to equal the glory  of the recovery of Armenia by the subjugation of  Rome's enemies. He therefore prepared to attack the island of Mona which had a powerful population and was a refuge  for fugitives. He built flat-bottomed vessels to cope with the shallows, and  uncer-
