Decius Flavius Primus stood on the field of battle overlooking his Army as he advanced upon the position of the Pictish war bands who had been ravaging the Diocese of Britannia for the past few years. Alongside his army were the Hibernian foederati, who were armed and ready to engage in mortal combat with the enemy.
In the distance was Hadrians' wall, and for the first time in years the Picts were up against the wall with a Roman Army advancing on them. For too long, these Celtic barbarians had ravaged the lands of Rome. This was largely the fault of the now deceased Usurper Constantine III, who emptied the Romano-British garrisons to press his claim in Gaul.
However, under Marcellus' authority, Britannia was reclaimed for the Empire, and as a result, the Legions of Western Rome had pushed their way into the region, and had battled fiercely for control of the lands they used to rule over.
