Very interesting. However, Tacitus specifically relates the famine to the failure to sow corn, which means that, if the revolt broke out after the harvest of AD61, whether good or bad, the resulting famine would not have occurred during the winter of 61-62 but during the winter of 62-63. This means that the hardship would have followed on from Suetonius's campaign of retribution, rather than being contemporaneous with it, and would accordingly have prolonged the distress of the tribe.
