<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DCCR, post: 4607312, member: 106566&quot;]Hi [USER=14873]@jamesicus[/USER],</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;d be interested on your thoughts about the timeline for the campaigns proposed by Elliot.&nbsp; I have some difficulties in accepting it, and prefer an amalgamation of his and Reed&#039;s timelines. In particular, I&#039;m struggling with the idea that everyone arrives in York in 208 AD and sits around until 209 AD just planning. That doesn&#039;t seem to be in Caracalla&#039;s nature. I&#039;m also uncomfortable with the idea that they don&#039;t leave York on campaign until 209 AD, and then return victorious later that year, just to hang around doing nothing until May 210 AD. That&#039;s a lot of ground to cover in not a lot of time, and given the speed at which Caracalla and Geta abandon the province when Severus dies, I can&#039;t work out why they would have stayed so long at the start of 210 AD when things were meant to be settled. </p><p><br /></p><p>Reed&#039;s timeline has the army advance to Fife in 208 AD, campaign all of 209 AD and the start of 210 AD, and then start the second campaign in the second half of 210 AD.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
