The Battle of Caer Caradock was the final battle in Caratacus's resistance to Roman rule. Fought in 50 AD, the Romans defeated the Britons and thus secured the southern areas of the province of Britannia.
The resistance was mainly organized by the Celtic leader Caratacus, exiled in their lands after the defeat of his tribe in the Battle of Medway.
Caratacus became the warlord of the Ordovices and neighbouring Silures, and a Roman public enemy in the decade of 50.
Following the Battle of CaerCaradock, where governor Publius Ostorius Scapula defeated Caratacus, the Ordovices stopped being a threat to Rome, probably due to heavy losses.
