<p>[QUOTE=&quot;jamesicus, post: 4602109, member: 14873&quot;]Very well, John, but I think the commonly accepted usage of “campaign” has always inferred “being in country” and directing a military operation, examples being Claudius dispatching the General Plautius with an advance force to invade Britain and then he himself landing there to take command and thus claim he had campaigned in Britain (he was only there for some sixteen days!) - another example was Augustus never visiting the northern frontier (particularly Germania): I do not believe any historical documents describe him as having campaigned there (that description is usually reserved for the field commanders Germanicus, Nero Drusus and Tiberius). But I do think you have a point John - maybe the time has come to re-define the usage of “campaign” - you are certainly welcome to use your interpretation of its usage here.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, John, this thread is entitled “Augusti &amp; Caesars who campaigned in Britain” in which I employ the traditional usage of “campaign” as I understand it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
