An army of three tagmata under strategos Patroclus marched from Tolosa to deal with the rebellion. For the rest of the year the tactics of the Celtiberi were of guerrilla warfare, avoiding direct attacks on the League forces because of their inferior numbers. Their better knowledge of the difficult and mountainous terrain allowed them to conduct quick surprise strikes, with ambushes followed by quick retreats, causing great damage to the League supply lines.
