Brittania and Reforms
In the dawn of 246 the Brittanian campaign was going very well after the Romans had defeated the main Caledonian army and drive them to the Highlands were they continued to hide. Discovering that he couldn't defeat all the Caledonians in one battle because they wouldn't show up the General Aquila decided to make a "siege" of the Highlands, controlling the main roads to the South and blockin the sea, cutting off any suplies from the Caledonians. After several months of cruel winter the Caledonians that hadn't died either fled through the blocade in small ships to Hibernia or surrendered to the Romans. With this escape in mind the biggest leader of the Caledonians, Know by his latin name of Ballista organized a resistence movement with many Hibernian Kings and started raiding the newly incorporated province of Caledonia. Aquila, Persicus and Germanicus were annoyed by this movement and Started to prepare for an invasion of Hibernia.
Meanwhile back in Rome the Emperor Alexander wasn't just resting he was trying to improve the empire and reform it. One of his biggest plans was to try to "cure" the disease that had runned deep in the army, the hunger for huge amounts of money. He made this to his Persian veterans by settling them in Mesopotamia and he planned to settle Allamanian and Britannian veterans in Hibernia and Caledonia and then creating a new generation of soldiers, not used to get much money.
In Hibernia he invasion happened in 250 with two legions and a huge fleet. The campaign started bad for the Roman as some ships were set ofcourse by a storm and ended in an unknown island baptized Vita island (otl Mann). The island was inhabited by a large number of people but hadn't a big army so the acidental conquest of Vita island occured. But as this happened in Hibernia the Legions were attacked with guerrilha attacks that were not much effective but were extremely annoying but the Caledonians and Hibernians, thinking that the legions were now weak attacked in a traditional land fight and were severaly defeated. The Hibernian highest chief died but Ballista had escaped and took refuge in the swamps. The rest of the campaign was hard do to both constant guerrilha attacks and diseases, having the commander Persicus died of one unknown disease in 253. In anger do to the death of his brother Germanicus attacked the base of Ballista and captured him throwing him from a 150 metre high clif in the west of te island.
The conquest of both Caledonia and Hibernia were great news and Alexander quickly started his program of settling the veterans and Germanicus was bestowed with the Caledonicus and Hibernicus title and he and Aquila held a triumph in Rome. Germanicus was then sent to Hibernia to be the new governor and creating a new provincial bureocracy
