nema to veze s gerilom

O ima,ima...to su najbolje metode protiv gerilskog nacina ratovanja,tada nije bilo medija koji bi osudili ovakav nacin borbe.

von_ungern kaže:

Ukoliko Rimljani nisu mogli zaustaviti upade, barem su mogli osigurati da pleme koje je odgovorno ne prođe nekažnjeno. Brzopokretne trupe, lišene nepotrebne prtljage, noseći snabdijevanja samo koliko je potrebno za trajanja misije, izvodile bi iznenadne napade na plemena, spaljujući im naselja, uništavajući usjeve i hvatajući stoku. Samo bi manji prostor osjetio stvarni učinak ovakvih kaznenih ekspedicija, ali je to pokazivalo da Rimljani mogu i hoće kažnjavati napade na svoj teritorij primjerenom žestinom.

von_ungern kaže:

Jedan od najvažnijih simbola bogatstva u germanskim društvima bila je stoka, pa je njeno oduzimanje bilo učinkoviti način pritiska na plemenske vođe. Rimljani su znali za poštovanje koje plemenite žene uživaju u germanskom društvu, pa su zbog toga njih tražili kao taoce. Kazneni upadi bili su u najboljem slučaju samo privremeno rješenje problema, koje je trajalo samo koliko i strah koji je njima stvoren

Antigerilska taktika u Germaniji

Severus did not venture to attack his opponents in the open at any one point, in view of their numbers and their desperation, but by intercepting small groups, thanks to the number of his soldiers and his under-officers, and by depriving them of food and shutting them up, he was able, rather slowly, to be sure, but with comparatively little danger, to crush, exhaust and exterminate them. Very few of them in fact survived. Fifty of their most important outposts and nine hundred and eighty-five of their most famous villages were razed to the ground. Five hundred and eighty thousand men were slain in the various raids and battles, and the number of those that perished by famine, disease and fire was past finding out. Thus nearly the whole of Judaea was made desolate, a result of which the people had had forewarning before the war. For the tomb of Solomon, which the Jews regard as an object of veneration, fell to pieces of itself and collapsed, and many wolves and hyenas rushed howling into their cities
