Not necessarily. According to Tacitus, Paulinus' reprisals extended not only to actively hostile tribes but also to those of doubtful allegiance. They could, therefore, have been quite wide-ranging. He also says that the auxiliaries brought over from the Continent were placed in new winter-quarters, which were possibly situated in friendly areas. Likewise, if the Lunt was a training establishment, it too is likely to have been in a friendly area.
