I'm watching this three part series and in it the historian host, Bettany Hughes, talks about a battle early in the Roman occupation where the Silures tribe of southern Wales defeats and possibly even destroys a Roman legion. Tacitus was stated as the source. My books on Tacitus are limited to the paperback Penguin series but I've not found any of his writings about that event. Does anyone know the specific Tacitus passage about this?
