Cerialis being appointed lieutenant, put the Britains in great feare,
by inuading the Brigants the mightiest nation of all the whole Iland:
and fighting manie battels, and some right bloudie with those people,
he subdued a great part of the countrie at the last.

[Sidenote: IULIUS FRONTINUS LIEUTENAT.]
After him succéeded as lieutenant of Britaine, one Iulius
Frontinus, who vanquished and brought to the Romane subiection by
force of armes the people called Silures, striuing not onelie against
the stout resistance of the men, but also with the hardnesse &
combersome troubles of the places.

¶ Thus may you perceiue in what state this Ile stood in the time that
Aruiragus reigned in the same, as is supposed by the best histories of
the old Britains: so that it may be thought that he gouerned rather a
part of this land, than the whole, and bare the name of a king,
the Romans not hauing so reduced the countrie into the forme of a
prouince, but that the Britains bare rule in diuerse parts thereof,
and that by the permission of the Romans, which neuerthelesse had
their lieutenants and procuratours here, that bare the greatest rule
vnder the aforesaid emperours.
