Quintus Metullus allowed no meat on the hoof, only precooked meat, presumably so as not to slow down the rate of march. 22 Slim has made it clear to us, in his book Defeat into Victoria, how he resolved his many problems. Roman generals, with their contemporary biographers, rarely revealed such administrative detail, although it was equally vital to the success of their campaigns. The health of the soldiers, together with the hospital care and the evacuation of sick and wounded, apart from being morally important, were major concerns of Roman commanders-in-chief, although, obviously, the degree varied according to the personality of the individual.
Nor is it difficult to visualize that planning teams from this 'ministry for war' would have been deployed at moments of crisis to assist governors of provinces and commanding generals in their work. The likely staff role of the secretariat in these matters is underlined by the presence at Boulogne, prior to the Roman invasion of Britain in AD 43, of Narcissus, private secretary to the emperor Claudius. He was a former slave, who had risen to being clerk in the civil service and was later to be appointed secretary-general and head of the state department.
This success would then inevitably have been followed by the rapid redeployment of the legions as they consolidated their gains and prepared for further advance. A move of this nature would have required a relaxation of their grip on the territories of the tribes they had defeated in the decisive Medway battle, namely, the Regni, in whose territory lay Chichester, the Atrebates, with their capital at Silchester, and the Belgae, based at Winchester, and would have left the stage open for Cogidubnus to move in and take over their responsibilities.
