Getting back to Decianus and his small escort, did the Romans really think that they had disarmed the Iceni (as well as some other tribes) ? Only 14 years earlier if I recall correctly, the Coritani and Iceni fought Scapula when he decided to disarm them, near Stonea. 14 years is certainly living memory.
As fas I've read, these tribes were still without arms. Obviously not the case - in any case, any items left by the detachment of the IXth would have been very useful.
