The Begining

Cunobelinus effort to unite the Celts was finally paying off. Creating a official army, he had forced all the celts of Britain under one banner, including the Celts of Ireland. Those who resisted died, those who wanted power were promised it, and those who were weak were quelled.
The Celtic forces were now ready to resist the Romans, who's many efforts over the last 60 years had been to invade Britain. No Roman Soldier would occupy Britain for all eternity.
Swords were being created, Spearmen were undergoing the revolutionary idea (in Britain) of training, along side horsemen. In 10 years time Cunobelinus hoped to have a vast well trained British army. Ceasar had struck at Britain before, there was nothing to stop the Emperor Julianus Augustus from doing the same.

Cunobelinus see's Rome. It is the future threat, and as of yet the Celts would fall beneath the feet of Rome. So steps must be made.
'Merchants' have been sent into various parts of Rome, to investigate the Empire, to aide in the corruption that destroyed Rome from within. These Spies were ordered to pay bribes, so that they could obtain knowledge of the inside of Rome. They were also promising money for the vast rebellious groups. If Rome could be distracted by rebellions, maybe they would never cast their stare over the Celts of Britain.
They also had questions:
Who supported the current Emperor and who didn't?
Where were the Roman soldiers based and what was their future?

Also Celtic Diplomats were making the long journey to Rome via the sea. There they could discuss future peace and trades. Maybe Rome could obtain the metals and food through peace?
