Suetonius acted vigorously in suppressing revolt, especially in Wales, but he was campaigning against the druids of Mona when Boudicca razed Camulodunum (circa 60) and he had to race southwards. He could not reach Verulamium or Londinium, and both settlements suffered heavy damage. Suetonius advanced down Watling Street to choose a battlefield to his advantage. He took a stand at an unidentified location in a defile with a wood behind him, believed to lie in the Midlands near Manduessedum near the modern day town of Atherstone in Warwickshire along Watling Street. The discipline of the 14th legion sufficed to rout the numerically superior Britons. According to Tacitus 20,000 Roman troops faced around 100,000 Britons at the Battle of Watling Street. The army of Boudicca advanced straight at the waiting Romans, but when the forces met the superior weapons and discipline of the legionaries forced them back. Tacitus states that the Britons' own baggage train then prevented their flight, and defeat turned into slaughter. Possibly 80,000 Britons died, while Roman casualties remained under 1,000.
